something is wrong with my Marlin.........

[Rembo]

its' not supposed to shoot this well...

If hadn't screwed up the 1.35 group the average would have been a lot less than .802"....

the .730" group was fired by "cccan"

It outshot all my bolt guns today....and with factory ammo....anyone else ever has this problem with a Marlin?

It's a 1976 vintage straight grip 336 with a 2.5-8X Scope Chief on top.

You better drop your rifle, crown down a few times. That will fix this problem.

 

[RickF]

Next time shoot at a full 50 yards, that 25 yard stuff gets too easy. There, problem solved!

 

[Jeff/1911]

Rick,

I'll take that troublesome rifle off your hands, as a personal favour.

Jeff.

Hi, My Marlin Guns really shoot as well.
444P
Model 444
45-70 Guide gun,
They all will shoot 1.5" or under on the bench @ 100M
The marlins give my bolts a run for the money @ 100 meters

 

[pharaoh2]

Your all on crack! Everyone knows only a bolt action is accurate!

 

[cccan]

I even hit the gong at 200 yards with it.......gotta be something wrong with that marlin...

 

[Sako300]

Yeah, but what angle do you have to hold that rifle to hit 200? LOL
Shot my biggest deer with a 30/30 Marlin 336C. Had to sell it. Needed a magnum to shoot deer nowadays. Them Marlins are bein' phased out as deer hides get tougher.

Cheers. and don't stand next to me at the range!

I've been unfortunately gettin 1.30" groups with my Marlin 30-30 (model 30AS) . I cant understand what I'm doing wrong, I mean I am running flat out while shooting just as my coach says to do, but its not working. I still cant get it to shoot 30 MOA. Go figure

 

[John Spartan]

The old "Leverguns can't shoot" myth gets busted - again!

 

[Rembo]

I even hit the gong at 200 yards with it.......gotta be something wrong with that marlin...

...and then he said I should cut it back to 16-1/4"...imagone that.....I think he's jealous...

 

[the_big_mike]

love my marlin!

 

[Kilo Charlie]

I feel your pain....my Marlin in .30-30 Ackley shoots like that too. It's just sad.

 

[gitrdun]

I wonder if Marlins like that will still be available in a year or two....
That's definitely a keeper.
