Probably cant get it much lower even though it's only 44mm objective the AO is quite bulky.
Could possibly go 5mm I'll have a look when it's out of the safe next, I do like to keep em as low as possible.

They are mean little weapons those marlins. Miss my 980s, should never have sold it. Outshot much more expensive 22s on the regular.
If it has a trigger less than about 8 lbs then it's likely had a trigger job or spring set. You can tune em yourself with a ball point pen spring and a little piece of nail

What carbon bolt knob did you use ?
Any chance of a pic of the bolt ?
Ive got a kind of similar Tikka 6.5x55 that is waiting for me to pick up from Kiwi Greg , but I won’t be back in NZ until September and the wait is killing me .
Im envious that you have yours already to play with .
Hey the bolt knob was one the gunsmith organized for me but think it is Tactical Works.
Thanks
A 300 RUM; all pretty much standard apart from the stug stock.
Not quite as fast as the one above. 210 Bergers doing 2965 shot the best.

Finally got my lithgow .22lr almost to where I want it.
I changed the trigger spring but still not down to 2lbs so will have to get someone who actually knows what they are doing!
So have got it threaded for an over barrel Dan can and a custom bolt knob and trigger spring kit.
I nearly buggered up the nightforce custom rail as had been looking on line and people were talking 55moa rails so decided to run with that.
I had an 5x20 shv but couldn't get it zeroed any closer than 60 yds with subs as only had 90ish internal, I ended up putting an nxs 5.5x22 x50 with zero stop on top with a nf bubble level.
I now can get a 50 m zero with a bit underneath and just checked the internal elevation at 102 moa with 20 in the reticle.
Some would say overkill, I say I could!
A big shout out to nightforce Australia for a bloody nice job on the rail and their awesome scope!
Just zeroed it with some hornady 40g roundnose running at 1070 on the box so will be in for a validation session as reasonably pleased with the cheapish ammo's performance.
Looking forward to some great plinking fun!

@Monk
Nice set up on the 300WSM . What projectile are you running? What speed are you getting out of the 20"?
Was thinking similar but was unsure on running 20".
Cheers.
Remington 700 build I did back in 2014 - Thought it deserves to be in the porn section before I sell it :thumbsup:

@Mort123 - How'd you mod your bolt like that? Looks like a decent amount of weight taken out of it + fluting
Hey mate the guys at desert guns in Cromwell did all the work on the bolt
The fluting yes, but not the rest at the moment according to their website
Right finally sorted my trigger guard for the Marlin in its new Boyds stock so as promised here are some new pics, still to sort a new more compact scope and some lower rings but it's getting there....

@Friwi @Ryan_Songhurst - my bolt is actually currently with Gunworks being fluted, I called the lady yesterday and can confirm that they skeletonize the bolt handle too. (for my remington700) It's just not on the site.
