Thread: Marlin 22 Magnum accuracy

The Marlin rimfires are often very accurate and the WMRs are no exception. Trialled a model 982SV heavy barrel for couple of years recently and once barrel was 100% cleansed of copper it was a laser. Mate and I could both shoot 0.3" and under groups at 50m. His standard barrel Marlin WMR also shot the top out of a 1" dot at 50m. Key is keep barrel clean - needs to be done regularly as a centrefire - and use good quality ammos. Try also Hornady V-Max 30gr.

Nice group
