I have shot several 1.75 inch groups at 100 yds this past week. I am new to teh lever gun world, but the Cowboy Limitied in .44 with the 24 inch octagon bbl is a shooter! I have a 1-4x20 luepold on it to help with such accuracy and it shoots great.

To be honest...i wanted it to shoot the winchester supereme 250 partitions, and it does ok with those... but it REALLLY likes the hornady leveroultion 225 ftx. Thats what is shoots best with! Any expereince going on out there with that bullet on animals??? I just posted a thread in the marlin talk asking too.
