Your new Marlin 270 may punch a 'yote a 300 yds...
but with out a very solid rest...a very good turret scope...
a good range finder....spotter....loads dialed to the scope
.....and of course a target @ 1K yds that stays put...
then a rifle set up to shoot 1K yds...your Marlin is best kept
to more reasonable ranges...the only way I could hit an adult
sized coyote @ 1K yds is if my 18# 260 AI was on my portable
table with my 6500 Tactical dialed to that yardage..and he
stood still for 2 seconds...
