Marlin still has them on their website because they do in fact plan on making them again. But when Remington bought Marlin, they closed the factory in Connecticut in 2010 and moved production to New York and Kentucky. They have not yet begun producing the Papoose. Who knows when they will start up production again. Also, the Marlin firearms being produced at the new plants are of much lower quality compared to those that were produced in CT. So even if the Papoose is manufactured again, expect a lower quality product.

I am telling you guys. The things are built like tanks. Very small tanks. I would have no problem using one as my everyday gun if I put a scope on it. Even with the open sights you can usually tag critters out to about 40 yards.

I like the over-unders that shoot .12ga and .223 or larger like the MP94 or others. They are do-all guns that can take small game without destroying too much meat, and a great shotgun that will take anything from #8 bird shot to slugs. They're good at just about everything.

This is a picture of the new Savage 42. It is a new model so availability may be an issue. |

Unless the new design includes a gasket of some kind, it will leak.

Pick up a cricket 22 just for the fact that they are $100. Small, light, perfect for kids or popping small game on a camping trip. You can throw one under the seat with a brick of ammo and it will be there when needed.

I love my Papoose, but would grab an M6 in a heartbeat. My buddy has one and I love it.
Hard to find and expensive though

I'll play the AR7 Game. I have one and its just great. Now its 3/2 in favor of it. So there!
Most of the people who slam AR7 never owned one. Im in a AR7 group online and there are constant newcomers. The basic newcomer believes AR7 is the same as anything else and straight off buys "Cletus' Home Sewn Something Close to .22 Ammo" at $1.99 per 1000 rds and then comes back and cries in his beer for a month. Then for another month threatens that all sorts of evil should befall Henry soon. Eventually he gets sorted out on CCI Minimags and lo and behold, here he comes with, "Hey, not a bad little shooter!!!" End of story.

Because it's a "survival rifle" and not a tactical weapon. Those "big red letters" help it stand out from the background for a quick grab and I doubt the squirrels/rabbits/etc will even notice.

Sorry. Can't help you about the red vs blue case. I was interested in buying a Papoose and began to wonder why I couldn't find any. The only one I found was $250 and I remembered about a year earlier they were all over the place for $99. So I began my research and found out what had happened with the move. So I'm not an expert on Marlin's or Papoose's, I just did a little digging to find out what was going on.

I have one of the 10/22 TD rifles, great little gun, as accurate and reliable as the regular 10/22, and breaks down small enough to fit in the trunk of my bike.

I did have a Charter Arms AR7 about 30 years ago and to call it junk would be an insult to landfills worldwide. I've been told the Henry version is improved but it would have to be really really improved before I'd consider it. The problem with the Early AR7 was not build quality, it was design. Since, at least from what I see, the design is the same, I seriously doubt the claims of it being better. I could be wrong of course. This rifle design has been sold to several different manufacturers who all failed to make it reliable. Henry is only the latest. As another poster said earlier, it's the one and only gun I've owned that I was NOT sad to see go away. I always thought it was a great idea and would truly like to see one work but from my own experience and from what I've read here and elsewhere, I'm not at all convinced Henry has done any better.

I just DROSed a Henry AR7 yesterday when I picked up my 1911. I already have the All Weather and Take Down Rugers. I actually liked the front site, but the plastic stock made it feel like a kids toy overall. I discovered that it can be stowed with a mag in the receiver so you actually have room for three mags total. I read a lot of online reviews and it is a truly hate it or love it gun. Mainly hate it.

If you mean old Marlin 70P with a wooden stock, I've seen them much more often than 70PSS on gunbroker while I was looking for 70PSS. They're a little cheaper than 70PSS, so I guess 70P would be $250-300.

I think the last Papoose from a gun store was sold like a year ago. I've been hunting for a mint 70PSS online for months. Finally found a NIB one out of state. If everything goes well, I'll get it in a couple of weeks. |

If you are thinking "survival rifle" not only should you concider size but also weight.
A R 10/22 with Tactical Solutions 16-1/2" Aluminium fluted barrel and folding stock would be a very compact, light weight package. ( Cal legal??) because of OA length, don't know. You already have R 10/22 so know the strengths/weakness, no learning curve. I have a R 10/22 TD. Like it alot. But, no light weight either. Would not want to haul it around all day along with a bunch of other stuff on by back. |
