There's all kinds of beautiful, accurate .22 rifles out there. But they need to have a good night's sleep if they're going to outshoot a $150 Marlin model 795 from Walmart.
To quote John McEnroe, "You can't be serious!!"
I am until.
Where's your evidence?
I guess it would be 15 years competing in rimfire benchrest matches from local matches to National and World Championships. In our local non-sanctioned matches guys would show up with all types of guns and I never saw a Marlin of any type win one. Remington 541s, CZ 452s, Anshcutz 1700 series, Winchester 52s and Cooper 57ms were the ones that shot the best for factory sporters. You can probably guess which one I shot and won with before moving up to sanctioned matches and full custom rifles.
No,...I can't guess. I'm not from Missouri. But I grew up about 40 miles east of there.
So show me.
My forum name is Cooper 57M, which is the type of rifle I shot in the local factory sporter matches. My real name is Bill Buskey. See link and look down to 2015 Outdoor Unlimited Nationals. http://www.ir5050.com/archive/
I'm not familiar with that name, but I know Annie Oakley shot a Marlin.
