RE: .17
SMITTY,
I have had at least 5 rifles thru the shop for trigger work, and have had the chance to fire the MARLIN, AND THE RUGER, if I had not had zeroed them in I would not have believed the accuracy of these little guns.
Believe it or NOT under 3/4 M.O.A. at 100 yards, no problem shooting asprin glued to a target at 50 yards, so to anwser your question I had great luck with punching paper out to 100 yards.
