I acquired this rifle from a old friend. It had been leaning in a corner for years collecting dust with my eyeball on it . Now I have it and Damn it hurts to shoot the
Thing . Marlin 444s 1980 model like new with the thin red recoil pad .
What to do ? Muzzle break , dead mule , recoil pad ? I love magnum rifles
Big fan of 7mm stw up to 338 Rum and none of these bother me to much but this thing pops my neck everytime I squeeze the trigger and that's just a total of 3 times . Explains why it was in the corner and looked new after the dust was knocked off . All I have for ammo is hornady 265 gn performance. Maybe hand load 250 nosler?
Your opinions please.
