\"Marlin<\/a>

There’s nothing better than a day at the range with a .22, and Marlin’s little rimfire is no exception.<\/p><\/div>\n

The word \u201cpapoose\u201d comes from the Algonquian word \u201cpapoos\u201d and means \u201cchild.\u201d Marlin\u2019s diminutive semi-auto rifle has undergone a variety of iterations over the last thirty-odd years, but the original concept behind the famous nickname has remained the same. Today\u2019s Model 70PSS is designed to fit anywhere, be shot by anyone, and tag along on whatever adventure comes next.<\/p>\n

I had the chance to take the latest Model 70P for a spin and was reminded once again why well-made semi-auto .22s are so fun to shoot\u2014no matter their size.<\/p>\n

Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n

Caliber<\/strong>: 22 Long Rifle
\nMagazine<\/strong>: 7-shot nickel-plated

Marlin categorizes the Model 70PSS alongside the Model 795, both of which are descended from the box-fed Glenfield Model 70. The Model 795 cannot be taken down and features an 18\u201d barrel, a 10-shot magazine, and a non-abbreviated forend, among other differences.<\/p>\n

VS. Ruger 10\/22 Takedown<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"Marlin<\/a>

Lightweight and ultra-reliable, the 70PSS is ready for anything.<\/p><\/div>\n

Lots of companies have and will continue to manufacture takedown rifles chambered in .22LR, but the Ruger 10\/22 Takedown is without question the most popular. Ruger\u2019s reputation is well-deserved, but if you\u2019re in the market for a .22 semi-auto, Marlin\u2019s offering is worth a look.<\/p>\n

Ruger manufactures a variety of 10\/22 Takedown models, but the closest comp is the classic Takedown with a stainless-steel barrel<\/a>. While I won\u2019t be comparing triggers or ergonomics here, the 70PSS offers several obvious advantages over Ruger\u2019s rimfire.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a survival rifle, the 70PSS is lighter and more compact than the 10\/22. Its overall length is 1.75\u201d shorter (35.25\u201d vs. 37\u201d), its barrel is 2.25\u201d shorter (18.5\u201d vs. 16.25\u201d), and it\u2019s 1.35 pounds lighter (3.25 lbs vs. 4.6 lbs). Both rifles will fit almost anywhere, but ounces lead to pounds on a backpacking trip, and Marlin\u2019s rifle will help lighten your load and save room for other gear.<\/p>\n

The 70PSS also includes an adjustable rear sight, sling studs, and a bolt release that can be manipulated with one hand\u2014all features absent on the 10\/22. You\u2019re unlikely to be ranging a .22LR much beyond 200 yards, but I found the three shortest notches on the adjustable rear sight to be on target at 25, 50, and 100 yards. Sling studs are a must for any outdoor rifle, and releasing the bolt on the 70PSS doesn\u2019t require pressing a button with the left hand and pulling back the bolt with the right.<\/p>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

The rear sight is adjustable for both windage and elevation.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

The irons work well, especially with the highly visible orange front sight.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

The bolt holds open on the last round and can be released with the simple push of a button.<\/p><\/div>\n

Finally, the 70PSS is cheaper. The MSRP is $94 less than the 10\/22 ($439 vs. $345), which translates to about the same price difference on the street (70PSS<\/a> vs. 10\/22<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Ruger 10\/22 beats the 70PSS in several other categories, of course, (magazine capacity, aftermarket parts, ease of takedown etc.), but Marlin\u2019s little rifle holds its own against Ruger\u2019s legendary rimfire, and it might even be a better option for an outdoor excursion.<\/p>\n

Survival Rifle?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The 70PSS is a great outdoor\/survival rifle not only because of its weight \u2014 Marlin also designed the rifle\u2019s parts and coatings to be weather-resistant. The barrel is constructed from solid stainless steel, the aluminum receiver has a weather-resistant clear coat, and the bolt and magazine are nickel-plated. These coatings help keep each component from rusting and ensure reliable cycling.<\/p>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

The receiver features a weather-resistant clear coat, and sling studs are nickel-plated.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

The 7-round mag is coated in nickel as well.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

The 16.25″ stainless steel barrel looks good and won’t rust in wet conditions.<\/p><\/div>\n

The\u00a0fiberglass-filled synthetic Monte Carlo stock won’t warp if it\u2019s dropped in water, and it features aggressive checkering on the grip, a slightly raised comb, and nickel-plated sling studs.<\/p>\n

The case is also designed to survive a drop in the water. It\u2019s handy for packing, but it also includes flotation pads that keep the little rifle on the surface of the water rather than at the bottom. I tested this in my bathtub, and while I can\u2019t speak to the case\u2019s ability to stay afloat in a swift current, it does seem to buoy the rifle in calm water.<\/p>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

\"Marlin<\/a>

The synthetic stock features aggressive texturing at the grip.<\/p><\/div>\n

You can find firearms more tailor-made for survival scenarios (Henry\u2019s AR-7<\/a> comes to mind), but Marlin\u2019s rimfire is at home both in the woods and at the range. Its rugged construction will keep it functioning in SHTF scenarios, but its simple design and user-friendly functionality is perfect for new or young shooters as well.<\/p>\n

Performance \u2013 Takedown, Reliability, Accuracy<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Nowhere is that simple design more evident than during the takedown\/reassembly process. To install the barrel, users simply insert the barrel into the receiver and tighten the takedown nut. Flat surfaces on the barrel and receiver ensure the barrel is only installed the correct way, so new shooters don\u2019t have to worry about improper installation.<\/span>The barrel nut can be tightened by hand or with the provided spanner wrench.<\/p>\n

I found that tightening by hand secured the barrel for 5-10 shots. After that, the nut needed tightening again. Using the spanner wrench, the nut began to loosen slightly after 70-80 rounds, but it didn\u2019t start losing accuracy until well over 100.<\/p>\n

In other words, if you\u2019re spending a day at the range with the 70PSS, be sure to check the barrel nut every 10 mags to ensure it\u2019s still tight. If you\u2019re hunting or only shooting a few dozen rounds, you won’t have to worry about it.<\/p>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

The barrel nut can be tightened by hand, but for a day at the range, the wrench can be used to ensure it doesn’t come loose.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

The gun can be taken down and reassembled in a matter of seconds.<\/p><\/div>\n

You also won\u2019t have to worry about reliability\u2014ever. Federal was kind enough to send me several hundred rounds of their CCI 40g segmented hollow point loads as well as their 40g match hollow point loads. I also had some Remington 36g round nose hollow points on hand, and I fed those through the 70PSS as well.<\/p>\n

The little gun ran everything without a single malfunction. I shot standing, sitting, and from a bag, and I never experienced any issues. I also shot several rapid-fire sequences and failed to produce a jam or malfunction.<\/p>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

Accuracy testing was conducted using three different loads from 25 and 50 yards from a Caldwell Lead Sled.<\/p><\/div>\n

The gun\u2019s accuracy was less impressive than its reliability. While I was pleasantly surprised by the trigger (5 pounds, great reset, minimal pre- and over-travel), I couldn\u2019t consistently produce groups under 2\u201d at 50 yards. I used iron sights rather than a scope because scope rings tend to move on the 70PSS\u2019s tiny, 3\/8\u201d rimfire rail (in my experience, at least). But even with irons, I expect groups from these distances to be under 2\u201d no matter the ammo. As you can see from the chart and images below, the 70PSS liked some ammo better than others.<\/p>\n

(Note: I\u2019ve marked flyers that appear inconsistent with the rest of the groups. Interpret as you will.)<\/p>\n

\"Marlin<\/a>

Federal 40g match hollow point, 25, 50 yards.<\/p><\/div>\n

The CCI is the clear winner, producing groups under 2\u201d at both distances (with two discounted flyers). That\u2019s pretty good, and CCI\u2019s 40g segmented hollow point loads are inexpensive, readily available, and effective on small game. Your 70PSS might like something different, but I\u2019d start with the CCI.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\"Marlin<\/a>

I had a blast testing Marlin’s little rifle.<\/p><\/div>\n

The 70PSS may not be a tack driver, but with the right ammo it\u2019ll get the job done. More importantly, it\u2019s compact, super-reliable, and outfitted to endure the harshest elements. At under $300 on the street, Marlin\u2019s newest Papoose is a fantastic option to stow in your bugout bag or as a first rifle for your kid.<\/p>\n

But whether you use it to save your life or not, it\u2019s sure to provide hours of .22LR plinking fun on your next trip to the range.<\/p>\n
