      sweet!!
      I have a marlin .22 that is an actual marlin design, very accurate at 50yards. With the scope at 50yards, standing, I can get about 3' groups, and thats standing......

      whats the muzzle velocity? 3500fps? I heard 4000fps was what some special .17 ammo got.....

      anyways, nice gun

            rimfire...

            and yah the ammo is $10 for 50, but its not like a .22 where you go out plinkin for 4 hours and blow through 1000 rds of ammunition...

            BTW, I bought 2 cases of ammo... 1000 rounds total.....$209

              Thats a pretty cool rifle.
              I want a rifle, but its kind of hard to own one living in Atlanta, you know?

              I love .22s.. they're alot of fun.

                      some people dont like putting low qaulity ammo through their guns fand dnot mind paying the extra for the quality
                      I throw newspapers for the OC Register, it sucks...

                        100yards, 5 shots, 3 holes



                        edit: each one of those squares is 1/4^2... that'll give you an idea of the size of the group...

                          WHere did the other 2 shots go?

                          Nice rifle. Is it a varmint rifle? I don't think I have ever seen .17 Calibre before except in my pellet rifle and that is .177.

                            hole in hole , the top two holes are oval shaped because in each case, the two shots were touching...

                            and I forgot to mention... I love the first so much, I had to get another

                              the .17 is a small round with a big punch behind it, it's excellent for "removing" squirrels (I got five yesterday). actually talking to my uncle, who works for the Marinett county forestry dept. up in northern WI, he said the .17 is unfortunatly a very popular poaching rifle. The less noisy small caliber; when used properly can easily be used to bring down a deer... he said last white tail season the county cought 2 people poaching with the .17....

                              What I can say from my weekend with these two fiiinne ladies, is they pack a heck of a punch for such a small round.
