Do what mimms suggests. You could also maybe disassemble bolt and use a slightly heavier grade oil on bolt/action. Not usually recommended. Marlin 25s, 925s, 880/882series, 980 etc not known to give many probs. Simple rifles with good barrels - reliable and surprisingly accurate. Some of them down to 0.3 groups at 50m - and all I've owned/benched capable of 0.4s. Keep it..

First 2 numbers are 97 so 2003 build from what i can find. . I brought it about 18 years ago. So about right.
It shoots well. Same as 795 i brought on your recommendation.
