Here’s the thing—when you’re looking at a bolt-action .22 Magnum, you’re typically comparing it to other value-focused models like the Savage Mark II or the Ruger American Rimfire. The XT-22M holds its own by including an adjustable trigger, a feature often reserved for more expensive rifles. The .22 WMR cartridge itself is a major spec, offering significantly more power and range than a standard .22 Long Rifle, making it a potent choice for varmints out to 125 yards or more. The rifle’s overall length is a manageable 40.5 inches, with a weight around 5.5 pounds, making it easy to carry all day in the field. The price of $248.81 positions it squarely in the budget-conscious hunter’s wheelhouse.

Who This Rifle Is For

This Marlin is ideal for the Missouri hunter seeking a dedicated, low-recoil small game and varmint rifle. It’s perfect for landowners managing pests like groundhogs or raccoons. It’s also a great first rifle for a younger shooter stepping up from a .22 LR, or for any shooter who values simple, mechanical reliability and wants a no-fuss tool that works. The adjustable trigger means you can grow with the rifle, improving your shot as your skills develop. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.

Pros & Cons

Pros: The standout feature is the ProFire adjustable trigger—a rare find at this price that directly impacts shootability. The .22 WMR caliber provides excellent utility. The traditional walnut-look stock and blued steel offer timeless appeal without a high cost. It’s a simple design, which means reliability and ease of maintenance. No gunsmithing required to adjust the trigger or sights.

Cons: The walnut finish is a laminate, not solid wood, which is a practical trade-off for the price. Ammunition for .22 Magnum is more expensive than .22 LR, so practice costs add up. The open sights are basic; serious target shooters will likely want to add a scope, which is easily done as the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard rimfire scope bases. The 7-round magazine is sufficient, but some competitors offer 10-round options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use .22 Long Rifle ammunition in this rifle?

A: No. The Marlin XT-22M is chambered exclusively for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR). It is not safe to fire .22 LR, .22 Short, or .22 Long cartridges in this firearm. Always use the correct, specified ammunition.

Q: Is the receiver ready for a scope mount?

A: Yes. The receiver is pre-drilled and tapped for easy installation of standard rimfire scope bases. This makes adding a popular optic like a Simmons .22 Mag or a Vortex Crossfire II Rimfire scope a straightforward process, greatly extending the rifle’s effective range.

Q: How adjustable is the ProFire trigger?

A: The trigger pull weight is user-adjustable within a range, typically between 2.5 to 7 pounds. The adjustment is made via a simple hex key, allowing you to set it for a crisp, light pull for precision shooting or a heavier, safer pull for hunting or newer shooters. It’s a feature that adds tremendous value for the price.
