Description

This Marlin Model 80 is a classic bolt-action rimfire rifle chambered for .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle cartridges. The firearm is equipped with a 22-inch Micro-Groove barrel, a signature Marlin rifling technology designed to improve accuracy. The metalwork features a blued finish on the barrel and receiver, contrasted by a polished bolt and a distinctive gold-toned trigger. The rifle is fitted with a smooth wooden stock that exhibits significant tiger-stripe figuring in the grain of the buttstock, finished with a black plastic Marlin-branded buttplate. The sighting system consists of a fixed blade front sight and an adjustable leaf rear sight. Prominent barrel markings include THE MARLIN FIREARMS CO. NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A. / MODEL 80 – MICRO-GROOVE BARREL – 22 CAL. S-L-LR. The left side of the receiver bears a roughly etched identifier reading 04 – 26 – 5490. Included with the rifle is one detachable box magazine featuring an orange follower. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The blued finish on the barrel and receiver shows scattered pitting and areas of surface oxidation. The polished bolt handle exhibits minor finish loss and light surface wear. The wooden stock remains in good overall condition with some minor handling marks, dings, and impressions consistent with age and use, though the figuring remains very attractive. The bore is not visible in the provided images for inspection. The bolt action appears to function smoothly, and the trigger retains much of its gold-toned plating.
