Crow Hunter: I second the scope recomendation. Has your buddy tried putting a scope on his Marlin? Do you have an extra scope laying around? You don't need an expensive scope to get good results, but definitely, dump the cheap POS they sell in the package deal, like I got. Putting a GOOD scope on mine was the best move I've ever made. One of my hunting buddies that can't keep his hands off my Mosin-Nagant now can't get enough of my little .22LR, even with the crappy stock trigger. The accuracy is addictive.

Some day, I'll replace the trigger. A good replacement trigger isn't that expensive.
