Range Day Sunday...Marlin Pic!

Post by 1historian »

Went to the range mostly to test a few loads for the 1895 Marlin. This gun used to be my brother's gun but he never liked the recoil...said it was the fault of my reloads. :D

Shot two different loads of .458 speer 400 gr fn. 1100 = 1400 fps. Didn't photograph the targets. Not very impressive groups...could still hit steel off hand at 200 yards...(big steel :lol: )

Also shot my East German Makarov and my smith and wesson Model 65. Like the feel of the Smith better...but shoot the Mak better.

Nice long conversation with a fellow who wanted to tell me about his .22 lr AR s. One set up like a suppressed M-4 with interchangeable optics. the other was set up as a HBAR...with a lens in the small apperature!...never saw anything like that!
