The Model 70 is a detachable-magazine, semi-automatic .22 LR built in the USA, known for its reliable blowback action. This example carries Marlin's Micro-Groove rifling in an 18 inch barrel for .22 LR accuracy, paired with a clean, mirror-finish bore.
The rifle is set up with practical open sights: a ramped, hooded front blade and a folding, step-elevator rear. The receiver top includes integral 3/8 inch tip-off grooves, and factory rollmarks clearly indicate the model and caliber. The serial number is stamped on the left side of the receiver.
Controls are straightforward and familiar: a right-side charging handle, right-side ejection, a cross-bolt safety, and a front-of-well magazine release. A detachable box-magazine system is present; the magazine is not included. Capacity is listed as 1 round.
The walnut-tone hardwood stock has a straight-comb, semi-pistol-grip profile with sling swivel studs and a black polymer buttplate molded with the Marlin logo. Factory adhesive labels remain under the buttstock, including "Tested & Targeted by Marlin" and a safety/handling notice.
This rifle includes a nylon sling with a camouflage shoulder pad and quick-detach swivels, already installed for carry.
