About the Marlin Model 80
The Marlin Model 80 is an American .22 Long Rifle bolt-action rifle produced by Marlin Firearms from 1934 to 1971. A low-cost repeating sporter and plinking rifle, it fed from an 8-round detachable box magazine and was sold in numerous sub-variants such as the 80C, 80DL, 80E and 80G, becoming one of the most common inexpensive .22 rifles of its era.
For decades the Model 80 was a fixture of American backyards and farm sheds, a plain walnut-stocked .22 that taught generations of shooters the basics of marksmanship at low cost.
