That 881 was at a local pawn shop for about a year with a too high for me price. I finally told them I would love to buy it, but not at that price. I walked out with it for $200. I don't think it had ever been shot. The color wasn't even worn on the feed lips of the cartridge elevator.Love my old Marlin 60s. I have to say though that tube fed bolt action is a thing of beauty.
The dumbest - well one of the dumbest, cause there's plenty - thing I ever did was trade a 512 X for a K 98.A nudder experienced Remington, my 511 made in 1945;

With the bolt action and 25" barrel it usta was perhaps the most accurate 22 I owned; but they don't make targets like they used to and modern targets keep ignoring my shots. Things these days just ain't like they was; even the ground is further away then when I was young.
One of my first 22s was a JC Higgins 42 that was the Marlin model 80 (not the delux stock though).I don't think I have posted this Marlin model 80DL here with the Leupold 3-9 rimfire scope attached. I have owned the rifle at least 50 years. I finally got my right eye repaired and sighted in again recently, I can actually focus with the scope now.
Just found out that Imgur has improved/simplified their photo sharing site so much, I haven't figured out how to use it. :-(
Have a blessed day,

I thought Remington sold out to Freedom Arms, and is now dead, or has someone else bought it?Sadly, it's no longer made anymore but my favorite .22 rifle is the Remington Nylon 66. I wish Remington would bring this rifle back again.
That was my first 22. Buddy gave it to me in ‘63. Still have it. Great little rifle.One of my first 22s was a JC Higgins 42 that was the Marlin model 80 (not the delux stock though).

Freedom arms is one of the finest firearms companies on earth, not to be confused with the freedom group who destroys companies by cost saving measures that produce junk. Freedom group is who's responsible for the destruction of remington, marlin and others. Not the same company at all.I thought Remington sold out to Freedom Arms, and is now dead, or has someone else bought it?
From everything I've heard about Freedom Arms, I probably wouldn't buy anything they're involved with without serious research first.
Thank you for the correction Obturation!Freedom arms is one of the finest firearms companies on earth, not to be confused with the freedom group who destroys companies by cost saving measures that produce junk.

The granddaughters not only struggled with it because they couldn't get any kind of weld and were just goose-necking, so it was near impossible to hit anything with it. I finally put a 4x Weaver on it that sits lower but they still struggled as it was still too high. I ended up putting a cheek riser on it and solved the problem.On the pink rifle at the top of the picture, the red dot sight placement is questionable considering this is a youth rifle. I youth’s small head would mean there wouldn’t be a cheek weld at all, perhaps not even a chin weld. Does your daughter struggle with this rifle?
