I don't have any experience with them, but the marlin .17 gave 3 shot groups under an inch, and 10 shot groups under 2 inches, both tests at 100 yrds. Pushing a 17 gr bullet at 2600 fps isn't doing too bad at all for hunting either! I know if I had the money, I'd have one for p-dogs, rabbits, squirrels, maybe even yotes!!!!
