Marlin 7000 vs savage mkII tr
- Thread starter andysride
- Start date
One you can pull the trigger and it goes bang every time. The other you have to manually chamber a round between bangs. Both will be equally accurate, seriously.
The savage TR stock also has a cheap/homemade feel to it.
Suggestion?... don't do it! Save up and buy a savage later on, because you have a very cool gun in that 7000. But if you do send me a pm regarding your 7000

Keep the Marlin, buy the TR later if you want~they still make those!
As for the Savage~I can see the appeal in the TR (or TRR) if it's in .17 HMR, but not the .22 version. Just "feels" more like a costume for some reason. That's just my personal taste. I'd get a heavy barrel .22 like the Mark II BV. To each his own. Anyhow, I sure wouldn't get rid of that Marlin..unless like Mikeystew said, you want to sell it to me.

This is a no-brainer....keep the Marlin.

Why not keep the Marlin, and just pick up the Savage MKII FV for now, and get a stock from Boyds later on?
MKII FV = $250
MKII TR = $450
I did just that and honestly have changed my mind on the stock, at least for now. I just added a cheek pad I bought for $30 and she shoots very well!
If I do decide to buy a stock it will probably be a Target Hunter, or SS Evolution not the Tacticool that comes on the TR. All of them go for about $90 from Boyds, so you are still ahead as far as the price difference.
Heres the best so far. I have only put about 300 rounds downrange, and am still getting used to the accutrigger, as it is way different from my previous 10/22 Tactical Target.
50m, CCI Standard Velocity, bipod, and rear bag.(Damn Flyers)

SELL THE MARLIN TO ME and buy a Savage.
I sold my Marlin 7000 and have regretted it every day since.
Keep the Marlin, it is an amazing shooter.
I have the Savage and love it but I still miss my Marlin and wish I had both.
If you happen to need extra mags for the MKII, Al Simmons has them in stock.
