It’s one of the best rimfire bolt guns on the planet. Good luck trying to equal the impressive performance of the Marlin 925 and XT-22 series of rifles for their reasonable cost. Accuracy is amazing. Easily capable of one hole groups at 50 yds, maybe longer with very careful shooting and ammo selection, the Marlin 925/XT-22s impressed me with their capabilities after THREE YEARS of shooting them for this review. CCI Mini Mags performed with excellence and even Federal Bulk ammo produces acceptable groups. In informal paper punching competitions, like my “Circles of Death” drill and in shooting steel targets, these .22s bring high enjoyment levels. Recreational rifle is its first POU, followed by marksmanship trainer, introductory gun (check out those youth models!), critter getter, and as a replacement trainer for that uber-expensive-to-shoot centerfire bolt gun you have. As with other quality bolt gun designs, reliability is superb. Just make sure you don’t short stroke that bolt like some rookie! Replacing the .22 925, the XT-22 brings a wider array of barrels/calibers/stocks/finishes and adds such improvements as a Pro-Fire® trigger, palm swells (yawn), less bolt resistance (love it), and a new design sythetic stock. Both the 925 and XT-22 are highly recommended and I find difffculty preferring one over the other. Some will prefer the now-special North Haven, CT 925s and I don’t blame them. Fieldstrip and maintenance is a snap. While you have that bolt out, check out …

Reassembly of the Mossberg 500 I DO NOT TAKE APART THE TRIGGER GROUP. So don’t get upset and dislike because i called this a detail strip. It pretty much is.
I purchased 4 new guns in the last month, just wanted to share with you all. I don’t have the ammo of the time to go to the range and show them to you that way. So I guess this will have to work for now.
My Marlin 336 44mag, Henry mares leg 22, Henry golden boy 22, Rossi 92 357 Please rate and subscribe if you like my videos. I’ll have many more firearm and motorcycle related videos to come as well as others
The Tator’s Savage 17hmr goes head to head with Mcgarey302’s Marlin .22wmr (magnum). You get a bit of a comparison of destructive power but keep this in mind, the video was not meant to be a textbook “comparison.” It is intended to ENTERTAIN. That said, ENJOY! For the music version of this video, please see my other channel. thanks. Please rate and subscribe! Thanks.
I made a part 2 of this video because I wanted to make it very very very clear that this was a fair comparison of the 17hmr and 22mag comment rate and subscribe
