What is this young woman holding....????

Read about it HERE. The question is whether her looks will be enough to outweigh the inevitable 'outrage' [ ] from the traditionalists...

My attention, or a Marlin model 795 with a can and shortened stock for when she is wearing a jacket

[3leggedturtle]

Well so busy looking at both sights, didn't realize you had the answer right there

Didn't realize it was a bullpup design, too busy looking at the action

[Mescalero]

Magazine fed Marlin.

Different I'll say...........but not too good for me, a left handed shooter. I can just feel those hot little cases poking me in the ear and running down my back.------6

Maybe, or maybe not. . .

"He shot the rifle left-handed, illustrating why the ejecting empties didn’t bother him. Between the unusual head position and the charging handle acting as a brass deflector, no casings came anywhere near his face."

Your right Doc.....I wrote before I put my brain in gear. When I looked at the short stock ....well....you know.......didn't think about the overall ergonomics of this rig.

I still don't like it. I guess when you reach a certain age, your mind closes up. Not enough wood and blued steel on that gun.------6

Interesting but like Sixgun it just doesn't float my boat. I much prefer a 9422

Is it just me or do all gals look prettier while holding a gun?

[FWiedner]

New gun and stock configurations are interesting, but in my mind there must be a functional purpose for the 'improvement'.

Here's the question: Why?

I don't see the shortened stock to be an advantage in this case, and the photograph of the gentleman shooting offhand looks uncomfortable and inefficient. As was mentioned earlier, a more natural mount would place the shooters cheek directly on the action.

Perhaps additional molding to create an actual platform for a solid cheek weld would work for the right-hand shooters, but lefties would be using their mouth as a brass catcher.

[AJMD429]

I think personally I'd rather do the 'tactical' thing with a Ruger 10/22 anyway; more options already available, and integrally suppressed barrels too...

On the gun only am with FWiedner WHY?

Not just you Ji. I have ALWAYS found this to be the case!

[Panzercat]

And still no hi-cap mag for it.

[Nate Kiowa Jones]

On the gun only am with FWiedner WHY?

I do think it is ugly but the WHY is because with the can and a full length stock it would not be as handy. Bullpup-ing is the only way to shorten it and still use a 16" barrel without going the SBR route. ( $200 on each end then not to mention the additional paperwork)
