However, the thought of getting rid of my 39A is frightening. But, then, I don't have the other Marlins you speak of. I believe that is the difference.
I haven't been able to make myself invest in a 10/22 yet. I know, I know...it will happen, eventually. But I know I will have to tweak the heck out of it!

The 39A was my first "more expensive" .22. I ordered it and was unfortunate to get one with a very nondescript walnut stock and no checkering. I put at least 50k rounds through it in the '80's and 90's. Still showed no real wear. If I had a child to pass it down to, I'd have kept it.
Ruger 10/22's, well I've owned five over the years. Two were configured with all the tacticool toys and I made one into a mini clone of a ranch rifle. Got bored with the silly toys and sold them to friends. I will keep the pair I have now. My wife owns the Schnable stock version. People who see it are surprised it is a 10/22.
