Marlin Model 70PSS

"The Papoose" - Stainless Steel survival rifle in a floating case.

The Marlin Model 70PSS is designed to be an easily carried, quick takedown .22 rifle.  These features along with the stainless steel and polycarbonate construction made it a fine choice for a survival rifle.  The barrel is quickly attached and removed with either the included spanner wrench or a coin.  The 7-round magazine is nicely finished in nickel plating.  The Papoose comes with a floatable padded nylon cordura bag.   The reciever cover is grooved for a scope mount, which could also fit inside the padded case (along with ammo) if you choose to use it to carry the gun.  carrying strap studs are included on forend and buttstock of the rifle.
Safety is a standard crossbolt and sights are adjustable open rear, and ramp front orange post with a wide view hood.  A manual bolt hold-open lever is located on the right side, forward of the trigger guard, the hold-open also functions automatically when the last round is ejected.  Marlin recommends using CCI Mini-Mag, Federal / Remington / or Winchester super X, high velocity.  Although the rifle comes with the carry case, Marlin does not recommend storing the papoose in the case for extended periods in case moisture condenses on the inside and causes rust.  Not only a nice survival rifle, but a nice little plinker to boot.
