If you re-read his last sentence, he says as much in very clear language.

"Maybe this is just the difference between two individual rifles, I don't know, but in my sample of one each, the Marlin has it all over the 1886."





I guess this line contradicts the other-

"The Marlin just flat out shoots circles around the 1886, and it ain't even close."
