What’s Included
- Marlin Model 101 single-shot .22 LR rifle
This Model 101 retains Marlin’s 22" blued steel barrel fitted with 16 shallow-land Micro-Groove rifling and a 1:16" right-hand twist, giving it reliable accuracy with standard .22 LR loads.
The receiver is cut with a 3/8" tip-off rail, allowing the buyer to add a rimfire scope without gunsmithing. Factory iron sights include a dovetailed blade front and a folding leaf rear for quick alignment.
A gold-tone trigger and manual thumb safety provide familiar Marlin handling, while the single-shot, bolt-action design encourages deliberate shooting—an ideal setup for training new marksmen or enjoying relaxed target sessions.
The walnut-finished hardwood stock features a pistol grip, Monte Carlo comb, and a black Marlin-logo buttplate with a white line spacer. A 13.25" length of pull suits a wide range of shooters.
For collectors, this rifle represents Marlin’s approach to economical yet well-built rimfires of the mid-20th century, made in the USA and still ready for the range today.
