Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Marlin 989 M2 is a classic semi-automatic .22 LR rifle that reflects Marlin’s late-20th-century approach to affordable, reliable rimfire designs. Its blued finish paired with a distinctive gold trigger gives it a bit of visual flair, while the 18" barrel offers a balanced combination of maneuverability and accuracy. The rifle’s sighting system is enhanced with a Bushnell 3x–7x scope mounted above the standard blade-on-ramp front sight, giving shooters flexibility for both close-range plinking and more precise small-game or target work. The smooth walnut pistol-grip stock adds a traditional aesthetic and provides comfortable handling.

In use, the 989 M2 is appreciated for its straightforward semi-automatic action and dependable performance with common .22 LR ammunition. Its compact dimensions and ergonomic stock make it a popular choice among recreational shooters, and the model is often compared to Marlin’s tube-fed and magazine-fed rimfire counterparts for its simplicity and ease of maintenance. While not as widely collected as some of Marlin’s more iconic rimfire models, the 989 M2 offers solid utility and vintage appeal, especially when found in clean original condition with period optics like the included Bushnell scope.
