Hello and thank you in advance to those who can answer some of my questions. I recently purchased a Marlin Model 980 Micro Grooved barrel .22WMR rifle. It is my understanding that this is a .22 mag rimfire rifle, but I am going to ask a dumb question. Is it possible to shoot .22 long rifle bullets through it? I ask because the previous owner said he did, but I am not sure that would be a safe thing to do. All information regarding this rifle would be appreciated.
