I own/owned all three...a Marlin 39A, a Winchester 9422M, and the Browning BL-22 (Grade II). I've kept the Marlin and the Winchester and gave the Browning to one of my sons. If I had to choose between the Marlin and the Winchester, it would be the Winchester. I'm planning on giving the Marlin to one of my other sons...but I'm still going to hang on to the Winchester until they move me out in a pine box.
But, when "push comes to shove," they're all great rifles and it boils down to what
you prefer. Bottom line...you're in a win win win situation.
