Andrew; I checked it out, and see it also has a scope on it. I'm not familiar with this particular model, but while I was at the site, I browsed around a bit, and it seems like most of their prices are very good. Do you recommend the '57? I've been thinking about a .22 Mag, as I've never had one, but was leaning toward a bolt action, of which they have several. If and when I decide to get one, I think this outfit will be at the top of my checklist. Thanks. Glen

 

M-57

This rifle is out of production and has been for some time. I've never owned one though I hear they shoot well. For the money, it isn't a bad deal. If I was wanting a serious shooting 22 WMR I'd get a Marlin bolt gun. I have an 882SSV that is so accurate it's frightening. My son's is even more so. Go for the bolt! ~Andrew

 

Thanks for the update, Andrew, and also for the site. Will probably go with the Bolt as you suggest. Thanks again. Glen

 

GONE!

I checked back this morning to look at the ad for that 57 and it was gone. Someone obviously knew a good thing when they saw it! ~Andrew

 

I was giving it some serious thought and carefull consideration. My intentions were to put a .17 caliber sleeve in the barrel and chamber it for the .17HMR. Parley

 

marlin 57m

I saw that ad the other day and I should have bought it.They are usually selling for $200.-$300. range in good shape.I have found that if you see a gun and you have to think twice you better buy it. :wink:

 

He who hesitates is Lost!

Impulse buying of forearms has almost never done me wrong. Thinking about it, on the other hand, has left me weeping softly into my pillow on more than one occassion! ~Andrew

 

57M

Glen1,

While the 57M's are good property, the trigger leaves a little to be desired, and I think you'd be happier with a bolt action just from that angle. SW

 

It's back on the rack!

I saw that rifle listed again. The hold must have fallen through.~Andrew

 

model 57m

andrew, jump on this gun.If you get it and you don't like it you can always sell it for twice that much.

 

found one

I missed that one when it came back as the buyer got his ffl 'n $$ in later.

I guess it was ment to be, as found a early steel receivered one. It is a 95% rifle, only missing the "bullseye" 'n "front sight hood". Now, to wait till it gets here in a month or two. At lest will have a new bullsey waiting for it. Williams still makes a peep sight for it too! Mike
