very nice groups. i also like the stock, where did you get it?

ok maybe don't tell me so i won't be broke again this month. lol

does yours have the fliers everyone complains about? mine did at first but once i switched to remington, hornady, or federal ammo instead of the cci, and put about 200 shots through it, mine stopped throwing fliers out and settled into a nice 3/4 inch group of 5 to 6 shots in a row.

i can't complain about that for sure.

Thanks - the stock is from  Revival Ind. Its called the Tundra stock. No - I really do not have any flyer's. The one shot at the 100 yards range that is high - was shot just as the shooter next to me shot his 50 cal. (not a muzzle loader). Scared the crap out of me....But I really like the Marlin 17VS.

isnt it ridiculous how easy it is to hit your target? there is no recoil, its like shooting your favorite bb gun, at 100 yards no less!

my cousin shot mine a couple times and came away with a big grin and a promise that he would be buying one in no time. not sure if his wife was involved in the decision or not lol.

Don't mean to but in. The stock is made by Revival Ind. and is called their Tundra Stock a very nice piece for the buck. Around  $130 plus frt. and a selection of colors.  I don't have anything to do with them but I do have one.  Dale
