The safety is a thumb toggle on the right of the action, just like the Savage. It’s very comparable in function to the Ruger American Rimfire. This system is just slightly superior to the Savage Accutrigger in that it doesn’t lock up the action if you pull the trigger without pulling the lever/shoe or if you sideload the trigger. The trigger on the Marlin uses the excellent Pro-Fire trigger system. They’re all very accurate for the dollar, but usability varies depending on what the user prefers. When comparing the Marlin bolt 22 vs the Savage or Ruger, easily the most important aspect to any buyer out there should be the usability. With a bump in price range, the CZ 455 and CZ 452 come into play, but that’s a considerable jump in price. The Marlin XT-22 is compared most often to the Savage Mark II and the new Ruger American Rimfire. There’s also the XT-22Y youth model as well as XT-17 17 HMR (my review here) models. This rifle comes in hardwood, synthetic, stainless, camo, heavy barrel, threaded for suppressors, tubular magazine, and 22 WMR versions. The XT 22 is a low price point, magazine fed, bolt action 22 LR. I’m continuing my off-season rimfire craze, now with the Marlin XT-22.
