The 22-inch Micro-Groove barrel uses multiple shallow lands to reduce bullet deformation and promote consistent velocity. Chambered in .22 WMR, it offers flat trajectories and increased energy over .22 LR, making it suitable for small-game hunting and target work.
Marlin’s bolt-action design features a bolt-mounted cocking indicator and a cross-bolt safety for straightforward operation. The 10-round tubular magazine feeds smoothly and allows extended shooting sessions without frequent reloads.
The walnut Monte Carlo stock incorporates a pistol-grip profile, pressed checkering, and factory sling swivels. A 13.5-inch length of pull provides a comfortable fit for most shooters while maintaining classic lines.
Sighting options are flexible. The rifle retains its original ramp front sight and elevator-adjustable rear leaf, while the 3/8-inch tip-off grooves hold the included Bushnell Sportview scope securely in low-profile rings.
A deep, even blued finish protects the carbon-steel barrel and receiver, preserving the rifle’s appearance and resisting corrosion. Overall, this Model 783 offers a well-balanced combination of capacity, accuracy, and classic Marlin craftsmanship.
