I fired my little Marlin Marauder from off hand and kneeling at 50 yards. This is really the first time I have been able to shoot it. The only other time I shot it I had ten rounds and had to zero it so I didn't get much trigger time. I found the sweet spot with it and think it is going to be a great gun. I have a Foolproof I happily found in my stuff I may put on it.
Here is the Marauder target. The two shots at 4 o'clock were the first two rounds. The other two out of the black are still probably deer killers, but the gun looks like it will be a shooter.
The second target is my Marlin 336 with the scout set up all kneeling at 100 yards. The two outside the black are the first and last shots. I don't think a better Marlin has ever been made than that gun although I know some might argue that point
I think my shooting will tighten up if I keep shooting 10 rounds a week all summer even though that isn't a lot of shooting. And if the weather, my fine shooting guns, and just being alive weren't enough, I picked up 20 once fired Remington 30-30 cases someone was kind enough to leave behind. I think I'm going to buy my wife a bottle of wine
