Nice one.
Early days for you and rifle yet - and do try a few Hornady V-Max 30gr just to see how it goes..
How does grouping compare with your just sold Marlin 917? Gadgetman's Marlin 22wmr was shooting just less than 1/2" for 5 shot groups at 50m, and mine was touching 0.3. BUT .. mine has scope issues at the moment methinks..
Yeah will be trying v max and a few others, I need to shoot some careful groups with the cci when I get a chance, but had no trouble hitting the 6" gong 9 out of 9 times at 100 yards (no big claim I know).
Plenty of time for all that though, safe to say it shoots plenty good enough, and to be honest I rarely shot groups with the marlin just zeroed it and went out head busting bunnies out to 150 yards which it did no worries
After all its not a target rifle

Well I'm glad you're happy with your new toy @dannyb and hopefully it will bring you many hours of fun spreading high speed lead poisoning throughout your local bunny population....
It's a shame having to remove the scope for cleaning though. I originally looked seriously at the CZ 22mag tactical but after learning that too requires scope and rail removal for barrel cleaning it put me off.
born to hunt - forced to work
Yes - good on you Dan for trying something different. One of the best things you can do in a shooting career is from time to time walk the road less travelled. Be prepared to try different calibers, perhaps old school rounds, different actions, different makes etc. Its often where you learn most - setting up and using new rifles that will require thought and experimentation. You'll be finding that already with the Marlin 336 lever in 30-30.
Having to remove the scope for cleaning not ideal but you'll work through such issues as you experiment with this rifle, and over time you'll find out if its for you. If not there are plenty more to trial...
Nice! being a .22 WMR, make sure you clean the bore regularly. Copper jacketed projectiles at magnum speed do foul the bore. Happy hunting!
the wood version of the cz 512 comes apart and goes back together easy without taking the scope off
There is a review of it and two other 22 mags that 55 six sell on the guns and hunting magazine website that's quite interesting.
Nice rifle Danny. I am pleased to read you are replacing the worlds most scungey scope mounts with something better !!
How is that comb height ? Just thinking that after the success with the mod 70 stock repair, it might be possible to have the comb customised ??
