I have the Savage B22 and am happy with the results. Shoots very well out of the box and easy to handle. It is not too pleasant to use with a BC 25 mag however. I tried several and all were unsatisfactory. The factory 10 rd works flawlessly. (just a pain to charge) Back off on the mag spring 1/2 turn and life is much better. (beware flying parts when opening) Buy extra mags when you purchase the rifle. I really do like this rifle!
I can't comment on the Marlin as I have never had one available, but I think that it would be a fun .22 to try.
