Today, I jailed a Marlin XT-22 at Entreprise Arms in Irwindale. I wanted a tube fed model originally but after a couple months of calling around and visiting local shops and checking online with no luck, I gave up and decided to settle for the magazine fed model. I plan on using this gun for pest/rodent control as well as a cheap range toy. The main reason I wanted a tube fed model was to be able to shoot 22 shorts and longs. I'll still be able shoot CB shorts and longs out of the magazine fed model, I'll just have to load them one by one, which brings me to my first question. Does anybody know where I can purchase a single-shot sled to slide in place of a magazine so I can single shot the rifle?
And I plan on using iron sights only on this rifle. I plan on purchasing Tech Sights for it. My question is do the Tech Sights screw directly into the receiver or do I need to buy a rail and attach it to the rail?
My next question is aftermarket stocks, Does anybody know a company that manufactures aftermarket stocks for the Marlin XT series rimfire rifles?
My final question is, what websites sell aftermarket parts/accessories for it? I've already checked Midway USA and signed up to be notified when the 7 and 10 round magazines come back in stock but want to see what aftermarket parts are out there for this gun.
I picked up this rifle mostly because of the good reviews on its accuracy as well as its price. I compared it to a Savage that was around the same price and I wasn't too happy with the synthetic stock that came on the Savage (even though I plan on seeing what aftermarket stocks are out there and changing it out to something better) and the fact that the Marlin also came with an adjustable trigger (Pro-Fire vs. Accutrigger).
Thanks for the help, and yes, pictures and range report will follow as soon as I get the gun and will do a accuracy test between federal bulk, CCI mini-mags, Velocitors, and whatever other ammo I can get my hands on.
