Prairie dogs are pretty thin in this area, but decided to take a ride this am.. Mostly to get out and run the goldens.. Decided to do something a bit different for rifles so I took my rebarreled Marling 336 in .25-35.. A pal and I had a couple made up in this caliber maybe 10 years ago.. I haven't shot mine much in the last few, so decided to give it a run.. Ranges weren't long, 75 to maybe 125 yards.. A couple were just peeking out of their burrows.. I have a 2.5 Weaver on this rifle with a dot. The barrel is a Shaw 24" long.. Years ago I had loaded some 75 grain Horn. Vmax over H335. It proved very accurate this morning bagged 12 dogs.. Missed several shots also.. Later, I resighted it in with 117 grain for this falls deer and antelope season.. any pictures of the rifle or varmints to share? sounds like a neat little rifle.
