Weighing only 3.2 lbs (!) and having the capability to break down easily into a buoyant carry case, the Papoose is extremely portable. It is lighter and more compact than most other .22s around. And unlike some other previous survival .22s, its accurate and reliable while still offering adequate firepower. Other features include a grooved receiver for scope mounting, last shot hold open, high visibility open sights, stainless steel construction, sling swivels, a decent trigger, a fiberglass polycarbonate stock, and the availability of 10 rd magazines (7 rd standard). The Marlin Papoose will function well in different roles: family .22 rifle, survival kit gun, or backpacking gun. The version shown wears a compact and lightweight Weaver 4×28 Classic Rimfire scope (#849430, SWFA.com) which maximizes its accuracy. Its the best .22 pack rifle around.
I have a 4 power scope on my marlin model 60 a 4-16×40mm scope (overkill)
Loves shooting and also likes his kids knowing how to! Awesome!
cool nice gun in great condtion
@nutnfancy Why is it that when you fire it, it’s very quiet.? I saw one video in youtube that it fires so loud?
@C0llateralDamag3 is it really that quiet when you fire it, I saw a video of the same gun in youtube, it fires so loud?
after having watched thid vid I realize your old man must have been a very good teacher..lucky you…my old man was a douche
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Lol at 10:04 “cheapo”
@Noctivagation Yes. I have the older wood-stock model and it fits easily in the case even with a larger scope. The new models have a much improved magazine retainer, which is my only gripe with the old one.
veri or nutn, would you prefer this gun or the ruger 10/22?
When I was a kid we had a Charter Arms AR-7 that was super reliable. That one would have been made in the late seventies or early eighties and it was great. I understand that they’re probably not so great anymore…
I just got a Marlin today
I can’t wait till i can shoot it!!!
I love the color of that barrel in the Papoose.
Minus the barrel the gun looks a lot of the ruger 10/22
what state are you in?
you can shoot anything with this they will all laugh at you
The .22 is a good caliber but it is not reliable to shoot humans with. Lethal out to a 100 yards? Well shot placement is important and it is reasonable that it would kill someone at 100 yards. Rabbits squirrels and other small game good choice. Seen to many soaked up by people and they never slowed down.

Is that near Flagstaff?
A 22.LR can kill u
It seems like federal fixed up their rimfire ammo because I was using the 795 at the range the other day at about 30 yards with groups a bit tighter than that with a 4x scope and in 350 rounds, I didn’t have one defective shell, which was nice.
@herbertmoon11 What?
@Montyfiable *successful trollface*
@Clayboy1998 what did you say?
@herbertmoon11 Quieter? No. Cheaper? No. Good for pest control? No. And an AK47 isn’t even a caliber. Are you referring to 7.62×39?
