The first rifle I bought myself at 18 yrs old was a Marlin 22mag bolt gun. It is the tube fed model. It was my first love when it came to guns. It always seemed to kill what I hit with it, and it just wouldn't let me miss. I killed countless squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, etc with it for the next 4 or 5 years. Life gets in the way and work, getting married, kid, buying a house all gets in the way. So that rifle sat in my safe for about 10 years without being touched...
Yesterday I decided I'd finally get my first love out and let her punch some paper. Ran an oily patch through the barrel and then a few clean ones and to the range I went. Well it's like I fell in love all over again after some shots to rezero the scope I shot 4 different types of ammo and they all shot fine but to different POA, all of them lower and a little left or right, the rifles stand out favorite is for sure CCI 30gr Polymer Tip. It's what it's zeroed with at 50 yards and I was tearing the bullseye up without a single flyer. I let the barrel cool every 4 or 5 shots though.
May retire my crossbow for late night varmint control, and just say to heck with the noise and if my neighbors won't like it.
