Quite popular in Pistol Caliber Lever Silhouette, which requires shooting with decent accuracy to 100 yards or meters. I know of one recently acquired newer Marlin .32-20 that is reported to shoot like a laser. The owner is an experienced competitor who knows what he is talking about, no BS.

I shoot two .32-20s, both modern. A custom Handi Rifle and a new Marlin 1894CL. The Marlin puts bullets in two inches at a hundred yards. The Handi puts them in an inch or less. I wouldn't say the Marlin is a laser, but it is more than adequate.
I would say my Handi .22-250 is a laser, having nailed a red squirrel at 225 yards yesterday. In order to give the Marlin a fair shake, I haven't tried any loads in it that didn't work well in the Handi, so there's more work to be done there. The other factor is most of my loads are above CAS limits.
