Thanks to some good assistance here I mounted an old Bushnell Sportview 4X32 I had on the 39A to my Marlin 60 and sighted it in today. What a riot! I only had room and time to move out to 50 yards, it is pretty dang windy and cold in Michigan today but staying inside 2" was the rule of the day, (I know that's double the diameter of what most of you can do but my set-up is pretty informal) This is with cheap Blazer LRN. Low cost rifle, low cost ammo.
My real question here is that I have been reading how you should avoid lead bullets in the microgroove centerfire Marlins and I follow that advise with my 1894c. Does this same line of thought (no lead slugs in microgroove rifling) apply to the rimfires as well? I assume it does and once I'm out of the LRN maybe I should keep it to Minimags and Stingers? Federal bulk?
Thanks!
