Re: Marlin problems My little skinney barelled XT-22 with a plastic stock shoots very consistantly and I have never touched the mounting screws. I shoot CCI SS and Eley in it. CCI's are very close to being as accurate as the Eleys. If I ever take the stock off the accuracy will probably go to...

Re: CCI Quiet 22 ammo CCI shorts kills squirrels, rabbits and black birds just fine in my Marlin XT-22. But that is at around 20 yards or less too. The shorts are pretty darned quiet too, and are not as loud as my pellet rifle. The shorts do pretty well for me and my back yard varmint...

Re: Marlin 917V accuracy Your rifle has the potential for much better accuracy, and you might not have to spend a lot of money to get it there. Check stock barrel clearance, check the stock mounting screws, and get a descent trigger. What kind of scope are you using?

Re: Are heavy barrels more accurate??? I bought a Marlin XT-22 sporter barrel, and for a sporter, it is a pretty thick barrel. I just started shooting it a lot lately, and have not pressed it out past 50 yards yet. With a Nikon Prostaff rimfire scope, it will shoot 1/2" to 1/4" groups at 50...

Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle * Well the guy has balls! I be damned if I would take a bunch of crazy snipers money, and not give them what they paid for! Where I'm from, a guy like that wouldn't last long!

Re: How to pull a 17HMR bullet? Put the nose of the bullet in a drill chuck, tighten the chuck, and start working the case like you are pulling a tooth! You will want a new smooth chuck without a lot of nicks and scratches! And do not plug the drill in!!!!

Re: Cheap/Improvised Gear- what have you found? I found a 4 inch aluminum teflon coated frying pan that is handy as hell. First of all nothing sticks to it, it heats quickly and evenly, and it doesn't weigh much at all. And you can normally cook with it right on a campfire. It will cook one...

Re: Anyone preparing for a diaster such as 2012? Well I beleive that SHTF comes in many forms. Lost in the woods, car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, unexpected natural disasters etc. Most people do not prepare for anything and that is just wrong! I dont prepare for the end of the...

Re: Anyone preparing for a diaster such as 2012? Well the Myans were a bunch of tards in the first place! Anybody that would sacrifice a virgin does not have the intelligence to predict the end of the world. And the round rock with their so called calender was really the first design for a...

Re: SURVIVAL Just remember friends, you still need to learn to survive without a backpack full of gear. It is always desirable to have your survival backpack with all the wonderful things it will serve you with. But if you dont know how to survive without your backpack, you are still no a...

Re: Marlin XT-22VR user review. Well I guess you have all heard about the known quality defects that the first XT-22's had, crooked dovetails, scope mount holes not square with the receiver, and some of the stocks weren't fit up right. But either i just got lucky or they have improved their...

Re: Marlin XT-22VR user review. I just bought an XT-22 sporter barrel. I took it out 2 weeks ago, and it shot 1 ragged hole at 50 yards using CCI subsonics. It was a calm day and I too was shooting off a picknick table with bags. So for a thick sporter barrel, it's a real shooter!

Re: What is the longest known .22LR shots? I killed a prairie dog at 1000 yards one time with my Marlin XT-22. I think he had a heart attack and died of natural causes!

Re: MK2 FV-SR warm up then preforms? If this is a brand new rifle, it may settle in after a few boxes of ammo is ran through. I have had new guns that needed no break in, and I have had some that I thought would never break in. I hope that is all you are dealing with! Are you cleaning the...

Re: LOW BUDGET .22 TRAINER / SILHOUTTE start to finish How are you guys crowning the barrels after it is cut off? I didn't see an explanation on this process, and would really like to know this. Could you use a chamfering tool and a drill press?

Re: Marlin XT-22 Well I have read on some other forums that some people has had problems with the XT's, like stocks that don't align properly, poor fit and finish etc. Basically there are some folks saying that the XT-22's are junk. Considering what I have heard, I told my friend to brng the...
