If there exists such a rifle as the definitive American .22, the Marlin Model 39 must be it.

I’ve been a fan all my life. The Cadillac of .22 rifles.

Well made, heavy (just wood and metal) very accurate and reliable. My dad bought one in Sears of all places way back when. I have since replaced the scope with something more modern, but still have the original. It fires everything I feed it.
Got mine at a JC Pennys.

The 39A was the first gun I bought with my own money. Actually, I traded fur to my fur buyer who was also the local gun dealer for a brand new gun. I was ten and happier than any kid has a right to be.
Today there is a 39A peanut, a 39 M, and a 39D. sitting side by side in a gun safe. While I no longer use these for hunting, (too valuable) the 39D does go to the range from time to time for my wife to shoot. I love these guns and their accuracy. I'm still shooting iron sights on these.
