Title: Marlin 917V
Post by: Missing on June 09, 2009, 08:50:04 PM: Just bought a new marlin 917V wood stock and man it is a shooter, not even broke in yet and I have an old winchester $50 scope on it and it is shooting under an inch. :IBCOOL:

And accurate also. It took me awhile to like it, I have an irrational dislike for Marlin, I said irrational, but have since grown to like it a lot.

Mine is getting a better stock soon. Just to small, but most rimfire stocks are.

And where are the pics?

There's a couple easy fixes for that trigger at rimfirecentral.com in the Marlin section.
