All I can read on this gun is: J.Stevens A&T Co. Chicopee Falls, Mass. USA On the rear part of the barrel it says: ???NS-MAYNARD JR 22-LONG RIFLE This rifle is a lever action type gun, you pull the lever down and the gun hinges open to load. You put the shell in pull lever up to close and it has a hammer for firing. Octagon barrel. Can you give me any insight on this gun. Is it an early "Favorite" ?

Any help identifying the rifle , what it will shoot and the manufacturer will be appreciated.
I've got the one my Dad gave me used over 40 years ago, and I bought one a few years back for my boys to use.
On his 16th Christmas, my youngest wanted a Ruger 10/22, which I got for him.
Other than that I have no experience with other 22 rifles.
I'm looking to close my 50 yd groups, and I may scope the recent Marlin (already tapped) to help my old eyes shoot better groups.
I'm asking for other suggestions that won't bust $ 300.00.
....I'm listening !
EDIT
Thanks for the replies. I'll be scoping the newer Marlin 39. Usually I'm open for a reason to buy another firearm, but Hurricane Gustav put 20K+ on my back...I had to borrow from my Bro-n-law.
I don't hold much hope in the compassion of the insurance adjuster..I'll be dancing naked if I get half back.
Thanks again
