Ooohhh nice!

That looks a lot like my Ruger Super Single Six. But that's a .22 lr/.22 magnum...........not a cap and ball. What caliber?

They list it as a .44, but in reality it takes a .457 ball. I can also get a cylinder to convert it to .45LC The grip is a little uncomfortable due to the 90* edges right behind the trigger guard, but the trigger is super crisp.

Very nice!

I love the old single action "wheel guns" myself and wouldn't mind a cap and ball some day. My next pistol purchase will be another ruger single action. They make a pistol that's convertible from .45lc to .45acp And since I have a 1911, I'd prefer to get something else that also shoots .45acp

I found a guy in eastern Canada who does custom holsters and for under $250 I got a really nice hand tooled holster and belt for my Single Six which would also fit the one I want to buy eventually.

I've been shooting for about 25 years now and finally got my first .22 rifle. It's a Marlin XT22 VR. The trigger on this little guy is really nice. I ordered a Nikon Prostaff 4x32 to go on top. Future plans include a little suppressor, but that will have to wait about a year before I can start my paperwork.

I have yet to own a Marlin .22 but I've always been happy with Marlin products so I have no doubt it'll be a great little rifle.

Nice gun i like bolt action 22's.

I have a Marlin Model 983T 22mag that is a great shooting rifle, I went with the Simmons .22 Mag 3-9x32mm scope.
