Is a spread about 9mm across, I guess.
Some may remember the thread I did looking at shooting a CZ452, 10/22, and a Savage Mark II head to head (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=673535)
Well, that got me to thinking, we always talk about our Marlin 60's etc, how would a stock Marlin 795 stack up against those?
So I shot the CZ452 (which has had some trigger work done) against my $99 Marlin 795 yesterday at 30 yards, prone, no sandbags. The CZ452 had the same 3-9 scope as before, the Marlin a cheapo TruGlo 4X. Ammo; Federal target load and Remington subsonic.
Results: (average of five, 5 shot groups) CZ= 9.1 mm, Marlin 795= 18.7 mm
That CZ is getting pretty nice, as you can see from the pic below. But the Marlin 795, if you take into account that it had a worse scope, and more wind yesterday, and it was shooting at 30 yards instead of 50 yards as I did before, probably could beat my Savage Mark II any day of the week.
