I bought the Marlin XT 22 a few months back. Was not real happy with it coming off the range as I was barely able to keep my shots on the paper. Brought it home, cleaned it and went back the next day. (It was a new gun so it had to be me right?) Second day was no better even though the scope had been reseated etc.
After the second trip, I took it down to parade rest. The hole for the lug was way oversized and the other locator bolt had no support. I bedded the stock and built in the needed supports and floated the barrel. Once I got the scope zeroed it put 14 rounds in a dime size hole.
So far it is a good gun just . . . not out of the box.
