....a Marlin 336. No, Dad's not gone but he'll be 90 this month and not going to shoot anymore. He brought it to me about a year ago.
None of my sons or I can get this gun to shoot consistently. Factory rounds don't shoot particularly well. My reloads which are: LEE 309-170 GC bullet & 25gr of 3031 don't shoot well either. He hadn't shot it for quite awhile & I thought maybe it got some rust in the rifling but it certainly looks good to me. Anyone have an observation about what I might try next?
