I've got the marlin. I have problems with mine feeding rounds into the chamber and sometimes with extraction. It is a good shooter regardless. I pop clay birds (stationary) out at 200yds. Longest shot on a groundhog to date is 173yds. I'm still waiting to get a shot at a hog at the 200 yd mark. Squirrels, 60yds no problem...and exceeding that range soon...

I put the Rifle Basix trigger in mine, it's sweet...
