.17HMR MARLIN

[cassshantia 16]

went out two nights ago just before dusk hit one rabbit then missed two more and a squirrel ,so thought i'd check my gun today,cleaned it stripped down the dm mod ,and went to the local farm to try it out ,3/8" right and 3/8" low on a group of 3 so adjusted to suite and hit 1/2" dot 5 times in a row @35 yrds , my luck must of been in as jackdaws started to land in the field so i shot one paced @65 yrds stone dead then a dove landed so shot that @ 55yrds stone dead so happy with the rifle now and confindence back up ,

just out of interest i dont think i knocked the sights but i knew it needed a strip down on the mod ,

how often do you have to re zero ? is it when your shooting becomes a bit way ward ?

ANY POINTERS PLEASE

MANY THANKS LEE N.YORKS

I recently changed a 17 marlin for a cz. Right from the start i struggled with the rifle, I changed the trigger to a rifle basic kit as the factory trigger was heavy. It would shoot two rounds touching and the third or fourth could be 2" off. I am no marksman but I expect better results. I stripped it down to make sure nothing was loose etc but it all looked fine. To cut a long story short I got rid of it and I find the cz twice the rifle as my marlin. Hopefully you get it sorted and enjoy your marlin
