The Marlin Model 25MG (sometimes known as the Marlin Garden Gun) was a smooth bore bolt-action "shotgun" chambered in .22 WMR and manufactured from 1999 to 2002. It is what would traditionally be referred to as a Garden Gun, hence its nickname. It was intended to use .22 magnum shotshells such as those manufactured by CCI and was geared towards close-range pest control for snakes, rodents and so on.
Interestingly, even though it's chambered in the .22 magnum, a round meant to be a rifle cartridge, the Marlin 25MG is very much set up as a dedicated shotgun. For example, there is no rear sight. The gun only features a front sight (a fluorescent orange bead), as would be more typical on an average hunting/consumer shotgun.
