[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3468573, member: 34578"] Finally pulled one of my "project" rifles out to see how it shoots before I go all in on fixing it. This one is a 1978 Marlin Model 99c (Same as the Model 60 but with a walnut stock and brass inner mag tube). The front sight is missing, the bullseye in the stock is missing, the butt stock is cracked, and it's filthy inside. I put a cheap BSA scope on it that has seen better days itself and didn't even clean the rifle. I then punished it with about 100 rounds of Thunderbolts that were 10 years old and had questionable storage history..... I made through with only a few failures to extract on what were obviously under powered rounds. (Thunderbolts suck!!) ---------------------- This is the target at 50 yards, trough the woods, with a somewhat stable rest, questionable 4x scope on a set of old $3 air gun scope rings, and HIGHLY questionable ammo... 2" group not counting the flyers. (1 was obviously under powered and 1 hit a tree branch.) I'm satisfied under these circumstances. [ATTACH]182293[/ATTACH] And here is the rifle.
