Marlin 925 finally grouping well!

[Ar180shooter]

Ok, so I just got back from the range and was shooting my Marlin 925. The only work done to it was bedding the action and bringing the trigger down to a nice 2.5 lbs. It's wearing a Zeiss Conquest 3-9 MilDot (maybe a little overkill for a $280 rifle, but it wasn't being used so I figured why not). Previous to this, I had tried a variety of other types of ammo and couldn't get under 1" at 50 yards. After getting the scope zeroed for this ammo, I took it out to 100 yards, and was reliably picking off empty 12G cases (my record for the day was 4 in a row). IMO, none too shabby for a lightly modified $280 rifle.

Marlin 925 @ 50 yds. 5 shot group measures .45" from center to center using CCI Blazer.

Here's the rifle.

What did you do to the trigger?

No idea. I got it used from another CGNer, and he said the trigger had some work done on it and been reduced to 2 1/2 lbs. I haven't measured it, but it does feel like it's somewhere around there. It's nice and crisp too.
