I have mixed feelings on this rifle.

Firstly, it is VERY accurate, however the POA and the POI aren't the same. I need to bump the rear sight over to the left. I had no problem finding other threads via google about the same thing.

I get the impression Marlin intends this gun to be used with a scope and puts the iron sights there for good measure.

The front sight also has this ramp cut into it which looks sharp...until you point the rifle at something and the reflective metal disappears in all lighting. I am probably going to paint this ramp red with modeling paint (or any other suggestions that come up).

Also, the magazine is a pain to load. And you load it often being that it is only 7 shots. Does anybody know if a speed loader exists for this magazine? I have a speed loader for my Ruger Mark III Hunter and it makes it my favorite gun to shoot.
