Thread: Model 60 22 Groups

Hey all

Wondering what the, I'm doing right or wrong.

I have a marlin model 60 pre 90s with the micro groove barrel. Tube fed with a Nikko sterling fixed 6 on it.

It's a love hate relationship, she used to jam all the time.
Now I clean the action with degreaser and boiled water and don't even oil the action and it cycles flawlessly, no dramas.

Well I was at the range the other day pondering if I should buy another 22 when I shot a 50 yard group well under an inch with two flyers albeit.

Big grin on my face and all.
Was thinking to myself, yup shooting off sand bags makes all the difference eh.
So I went to shoot some more ten round groups and nothing comparable, all two to three inch spreads.

No wind, all the same ammo out of the same box, rings and scope tight and proper. Ammo was Winchester powerpoint

The good group wasn't the first one I shot either it was like halfway through my shooting, as in piss poor, good, piss poor
I don't think anything was coming undone.

Any ideas guys?

Don't have any photos off the poor groups sprry
