I have a Marlin 30aw .30-30win that I have zero trust in. I have missed every deer I ever shot at with it! At the range, 3 and sometimes 4 m.o.a. is the best groups it will shoot. My Browning A-Bolt .300WSM, on the other hand, shoots 3/4 to 1.5 m.o.a. any day of the week. So, I know it's not all in my shooting abilities. With the Marlin, I have tried several different brands of ammo. Even the hornady leverevolution stuff. Is this just the norm for these guns, or can my gun be fixed? I really hate to get rid of it, but I don't see any reason to keep a gun that I am scared to shoot at a deer with.
