I used the search bar and it didn’t pull anything up, or I didn’t do correctly.

What do y’all think of it?
How far do y’all shoot with it?
What is the tightest groups on paper at 100yards you have been able to achieve?
Some say the rifles made after 2010(?) without the JM stamp are worthless? Why is that?
Scope or no scope?
For me I love it! It was the first gun I fell in love with. My grandpas 30wcf. I’ve shot out to 200yards at steal. Still working on some promising loads. Maybe an inch or under at 100 yards. This possible?
Mine is 2006 model marlin. Scopes with a vortex copperhead.
Some say it’s a worthless brush gun, I just say they have never taken the time to see what one could achieve from it.
They say it’s “worthless “ so when you decide to sell thy will be the first in line to make an offer. JMO

Good shooting, but we need more details. What ammo?
Sorry it took so long to answer.

Win brass
Win LR primer
Win 150-gr PPFN bullet
32.8 gr RL-15 powder
(My dad's Marlin 336 like the load too.)

It's strange. The load is all Winchester components, but the rifle absolutely HATES Winchester Super-X factory ammo. It will spray the bullets all over the target!

Now this rifle has been accurized by me, so it won't be typical of other Savage/Stevens/Springfield rifles of this type.
