wal-mart 22 mag
just started sighting in new 22 mag from wal mart.it is tube feed.after seting targets up.i went to load gun.but the 22 mags would not fit the cut out in the tube,had to pull rod all the way out and load through the end by droping them in to the tube.after makeing sure it was a 22 mag that is.read barrell.set targets at 50 yards & 75 & 100 yards. useing 1 quart downy bottels as targets. first 3 shoots hit all 3 targets.rounds used were 40 grain j.h.p.the gun shoots very good and see no problems out side of the cut out on the tube .looks as if it is cut for a 22 long rifel round.wonder if all marlin model 983's are like this.or maybe some how they installed the wrong tube?anyway i see no problem out side of that as far as work men ship.very nice rifel as far as weight nice wight ,good looking gun.action-nice pull,and wal nut stock.had to put about 30 coats of gun wax on to the stock to make it what i think looks good.the gun and scope was right out the box.so the targets were not hit deed center.but at the range i shot at i thought was very good as not have set scope.just remebered your quastion so i replyed as to haveing a new wal- mart gun.this will be no problem for me as i will put the tube on the mill and open it up.but why would they put a tube with a cut out that will no acc a 22 mag round.first thing i thought was dam they gave me a long rifel instead of the mag.but it is a mag from the barrel and the chamber.you got me wondering now.let me know what you find out if you research wal- mart guns.
