Welcome from Texas,keep shooting that mod 80.

 

Yes, I found one in a Pawn Shop about 5 years ago. It sat on the rack for over a year. It was so beat up, nobody would buy it.
I had been looking for a bolt action, so I felt sorry for it and brought it home.
It turns out to be the most accurate .22LR that I own. Not very picky about ammo either. Can't say that about some of the other Marlin bolt actions that I have acquired since getting that one.

Welcome from the marshes of south Louisiana.

I have the Sears model 41 which is a single shot .22 made in the 50's and 60's, must pull the pin back manual to shoot! It's a shooter also.

Just came back from the Adirondacks in ny had a great thanksgiving up there i put a new field n stream 3×9 × 40 scope on my almost 50 year old model 80 and went out for squirrels my longest kill was over a hundred yards away on tree stump what a great and accurate old gun for 34 dollars back in the day

 

I’ve got a Model 80.... but... it’s not a JC Penney store-model, it’s a Marlin 80 which my Father bought new in1939. Nice dark walnut, deeply blued with chromed bolt, and NO SERIAL NUMBER. (Serial numbers were not required back then.). It’s in excellent condition and also a tack-driver.

PS: The magazine has a metal follower, not the orange plastic todays mags have. And it’s pre-Micro-Groove, of course.
