Took the Marlin to the range yesterday and fired 100 rounds. I got tired of making a hole in 50 yard target so spied a fairly clean 100 yard target that someone left hanging. I put an "X" over the "holes" I didn't make. I don't think this was too bad for a .22 WMR with and old "TV" style Redfield 2X7 scope. I had to replace the batteries in my old camera and forgot to change the date. This was 05-27-2021.

Re: Marlin 783
Looks like meat in the pot with anyone of those shots at a 100 yards. Good shooting Jake.

Re: Marlin 783
The 783's are some pretty nice shooting rifles. Looks good to me.
Never owned one myself but I've heard they were pretty darn accurate.
I like the tube feed, I have a 25 NM. It's a pretty fair shooter, and I have extra mags.

Re: Marlin 783
I'd say that 100 yd target is nothing to sneeze at. Thats some fine shooting their Jake.
