I had one
the best shooting 22 I have ever owned was a 39a, back about 25years ago.
I have owned two others scince then. one would not shoot into 3" at 25yds
with any ammo, I brought it back to the place of purchase and they exchanged it for another one, this one would group a little better, 1 1/2 at 25, but the take down screw would have to be tightened down bout every 30 or 40 shots!!
Now for my question,
now days, are the 39a's fairly accurate out of the box?
I love the feel of them, just kinda leery about my last experiance with marlin
