Marlin 7000 range report
« on: December 28, 2005, 12:23:47 PM »
Hi, today, i've finaly shoot it with an old Bushnell Sportsview 3-9 38mm that i've removed from my Savage mod 99 and I'm a bit disapointed :(   I've recieved it last friday and give a good clean to the barrel before shooting it (to be sure that it has no factory residue in it) I had only try 3 ammo; CCI mini mag, Win Target(std. vel.) and Federal ''Bulk Pack''(only 10 round) I also try 2 Rem yellow jacket(not more cause i'm not comfortable using hyper vel. in it!?!??) Should I be disapointed with only 3 kind of ammo tried??? I have to say that i'm only worried about poor accuracy( 1.5 to 2 inchs @ 50....benched) and as for the reliability, no malfunction in 100 round!!.....this afternoon i'll buy a bunch of different ammo. I also have to say that it's an old bunch of ammo that i had since maybe 10 years and those was stored in the basement of my house(it's a litle bit more humid than normal), so.........???  ......and all that with no wind and 32°F.
I'll give you some news after another shooting session!

I've just shoot with 3 other kind of ammo; Win. High Vel., Fed. American Eagle and Win. Wildcat and it's worse... :(  :evil: .The scope is good( i do moa with it on my Savage 99) and he's not moving. All that was made after a total strip down of the rifle to clean it and to see if something wrong in it.....and everything seem to be ok so ??? Next thing I'll do tomorow is to put my Bushnell Elite 3200 7-21 40mm AO (that I have on my Sav. 12 fvss) on it and see....I also have to say that it's not caused by my poor shooting ability...I'm able to do 1/2 and 1/4 MOA with my Savage in 223. All are 5 shots groups.
The barrel dont have any rough things in it and look good.
