I had a stainless marlin about 18 years ago, whenever they first came out. It was a 38 twist but it seemed to shoot 300s. I used the speer 270 goldl dot sp in it a lot and it shot well enough.
It got stolen when the house was robbed and later recovered in the possession of a meth dealing illegal alien or undocumented immigrants or whatever they call them these days. The guy had it and a bunch of meth but they let him go. I got the gun back but it was a bit beat up and always reminded me of the burglary so I sold it. I bought a 16" rossi stainless 92 to replace it. I haven't shot the 92 much. Guess I just haven't learned to like it yet.
I also picked up a stainless plastic 77/44 on a half price sale but I haven't shot it yet. I'm excited about it because it points like a 10/22 and has the same sights. I grew up with 10/22s.
For factory ammo the 240 sp American eagle does good in a rifle and isn't too expensive.
