Thread: Need some opinions on a couple of guns

+1 Nick-D's comment on marlin 925.

Model 925 and 980 would be pick of recent marlin bolt actions. Sound wee rifles with very good barrels, they do the hunter job well. I had several 925s go thru the cupboard in recent years and they particularly impressed me in benchrest testing on the range. Well under 0.5" at best and one 925 dropped into the 0.3"s for 5 shot groups at 50m. Found they could comfortably outshoot more expensive makes. Good performance and reliability for the $$.

CCI subs, CCI standard velocity solids, CCI minmags and Winchester powerpoint all worth trying.
