Just got back from my favorite local gun shop with a new addition to my marlin family. It's a XT-22 tube magazine with the Accutrigger. I topped it off with a Leupold VX-1 2-7x33 with Burris rings. I got this to be a more modern brother to my model 81DL that I could practice longer range shooting with optics. I adjusted the trigger down to just under 3 pounds which is about the same as my model 1894.
Here is the Marlin family: 1894 .44 mag w/ Leupold VX-2 2-7x33 on top, Model 81DL with factory peep sights in the middle, and my new XT-22 w/Leupold VX-1 2-7x33 on the bottom.
One question I have for other with this rifle is, what kind of groups are you getting? I know it's not a high end target rifle, but since I will be using this to practice with I would like to know what groups other more experienced shooters are getting so I know when I'm starting to shoot near the rifles ability. Thanks in advance for any info or advice.
