newspaper on guns and hunting called Southern Sportsman back in the late 70s and decided to test out some of the new hyper velocity 22 LR cartridges. I had a Remington 241-t, a Remington 552, and a Marlin 99M1, and I borrowed a Winchester 52 sporter, and Marlin model 60. I tried the new CCI Stinger, the Remington yellow Jacket, the Winchester Expeditor and one other I can't think of now. At the end of the test the little Marlin 99M1 beat everything. They are a very accurate little rifle and I guess everyone knows that now as they run $400 to $500 if you can find a good used one.
