I absolutly love this rifle! First off its a Marlin and made in America so thats a small plus, second the wood is darker than the picture (i knew this but for those who don't know now you do) Its beautiful, everything was 100%, smooth action, sights were better than other reviews have stated accross the internet. It comes drilled and tapped so you can mount a scope but personally chose the XS sights ghost ring system which is awesome. This rifle does have the ballard (i believe thats what its called) rifling NOT the micro groove so you CAN shoot cast bullets accuratly in this rifle! Took it out yesterday and it shot amazing 100 (3 inch group) and 200 (4.75 inch group) yard shots were no problem with ultramax 405gr. and Hornady 325gr. ballistic tip, at 300 yards they both began to spread (about 6 inch groups) but IMO kept a pattern well enough for hunting, with a little practice i can definatly shrink the groups. I bought this rifle for use in the future while camping and fishing, it does have some heft but with 5 rounds of 45-70 at my disposal the weight is easily forgotton. I could go on and on about how good this rifle is its just that good, do yourself a favor if you are deciding to buy this gun dont hesitate, Its the best 500 bucks ive spent in a long time and i own a lot of rifles. Thank you Buds for a second flawless transaction!
