the most fun gun I have.
Took four rifles to the range today.
1) VZ2008 (got it sighted in today)
2) Marlin Model 60
3) Marlin 336W
4) Lithgow Lee Enfiled No1 Mk3
To make a long story short. We bought 30 lbs of med potatoes, 3 bags of red apples, and two watermelons.
We shot the potatoes and apples mostly with the .22 LR guns we had there. I was shooting 100 yard potatoes and apples left and right. My Marlin model 60 is just a great shooting gun. With the scope that is on it, the thick part of the reticle that comes to a point before your smaller x-hairs are the aiming point at 100 yards.
At 100 yards I can rest the apple on top of that point, and just blow them up.
The VZ2008 was sighted in with Wolf MC 124 grain HP, and I have a pretty good video of a couple watermelons taking one at 25 yards.
I was shooting potatoes easily @ 50 yards this this ammo/gun combination.
The Marlin 336W was just out to really make noise. It shot good as always. I love to shoot it as well.
The Lee Enfield was there for fun factor. I am still working on it. Somehow my front sight has moved. Also I do not have a loading yet for it.
All in all the VZ and Marlin Model 60 were the guns to shoot today. The Mod 60 just shined. The rifle is a rifle that makes Marlin look good. Of course I help a lot with that also.
One hundred yard hits on apples consistently are cause to keep this rifle, huh? When I say consistent, I mean bang, bang, bang, bang, and then there would be four less apples on posts at 100 yards.
If your looking for a .22 LR rifle. Do yourself a favor, and check out a Marlin Mod 60.
I am not affiliated with Marlin in anyway. Just trying to spread the word about a classic .22 LR rifle that still shines.
