Default RE: Marlin 336

ORIGINAL: DannyD

I have a 336 in 30-30. it is my favorite gun that I own. It feels solid and handles great.
The Bad: Well with factory ammo i was only able to get groups to average 2.75" at 100yds. (cheap Rem, Win, and Fed ammo)

The good: With the new Leverevolution ammo from Hornady my groups are averaging just over 1.25". This is on a bag and against my shoulder not a gun rest or vice.

My daughter killed her deer at 125 yards and I would feel comfortable out to 175 to 200.
This performance is not the gun's fault-it is an ammo problem!
