Daughter Samantha's main present was a Marlin XT-22VR:
 |
| Caliber | 22 LR (70835) | ||
| Capacity | 7-shot magazine | ||
| Action | Blued bolt action, thumb safety, red cocking indicator | ||
| Trigger | Pro-Fire® Adjustable | ||
| Stock | Black synthetic Beaver-tail stock with palm swell, full pistol grip, molded in swivels, and stippled grip areas | ||
| Barrel | 22" blued heavy varmint barrel with Micro-Groove® rifling (16 grooves) and recessed muzzle | ||
| Twist Rate | 1:16 | ||
| Sights | Includes rear and front scope bases only. Receiver grooved for scope mount, drilled and tapped for scope bases | ||
| Overall Length | 41" | ||
| Weight | 6 lbs. |
Of course, we outfitted it with a variable .22WMR scope from Simmons, and her sister contributed three 10-round magazines. I took a picture of Sam with the new rifle last night, with her phone, and haven't received that from her yet.
She's one happy camper, and can't wait for our range trip on Sunday to try it out.

A hearty "welcome aboard" to Joey, whom I believe is also known as Senior Chief - a blogger whose work I began following yesterday. If you're a foodie, or into prepping (both good things) you'll enjoy his writing.

Kewl!
PH, it's a remarkably stout-feeling rifle, with the fore-end forming a wide, almost triangular shape. The bull barrel adds heft to the thing as well, and I'm betting it's going to be a tack-driver.
I was hoping you would give her something in .338....
Matt, she only asked for the .22 ... the .338, however, is on my wish list. :)
