Marlin Model 7000 .22 Rifle Gunner's Journal


Marlin Model 7000 Semi-Auto Target Rifle

As with many shooters these days buying ammo is the genuine pain in the budget. Having which upon my thoughts led me to buy the purloin we havent owned in years as well as thats the twenty-two rifle. Saving money as well as sharpened some-more isnt the only reason to have the twenty-two rifle. A Marlin similar to this the single is accurate during the larger stretch than the single might think. This indication 7000 isnt done any more yet can be pretty easily found. It has the complicated target tub 18 in length. The magazine holds 10 rounds of twenty-two prolonged rifle. If we need extra magazines we can collect them up during WalMart which is convenient. The purloin comes with the black fake stock of the Monte Carlo sort with the length of pull done for an adult. It also has sling rings which can be used to mount the bipod instead or we can supplement an additional sling ring to the back of the stock front the single for the bipod. The purloin weighs in during only over 5 pounds making it unequivocally accessible to lift around the woods or range.

Something we dont see unequivocally mostly upon the twenty-two purloin is the bolt reason open after the final turn is fired. It also has the bolt reason open lever during the front of the trigger guard. The reserve is the usual button which pushes right to left to take the reserve off as well as is located only behind the trigger. The operation which came with the purloin was the Simmons 432. After going to the operation we decided we indispensable the bit some-more magnification as well as transposed this operation with the brand new Bushnell 39x32. This operation is brighter as well as has the cleaner perspective than the Simmons as well as came with complicated duty operation mounts. At the back of the operation is the ring to set the operation from 3 to 9 power. Scope covers come with this scope.

At the operation we set the operation up for 100 yards. we know which may appear similar to thats pulling the boundary of the twenty-two prolonged purloin yet actually once the operation was calibrated the groups were around 2 to 2 1/2 inches using Federal hollowpoints. My most appropriate organisation was 2 inches firing 10 turn strings. The change of this purloin is unequivocally good. Comfortable to fire as well as unequivocally easy to reason upon target off hand. The groups we mentioned above were dismissed using the list with elbows lazy upon the surface. Not as stable as the rest yet great sufficient for the groups we shot today. All total we shot 300 rounds without any problems during all even yet it has been the small time since the purloin has been cleaned. After cleaning we took the purloin back to the operation as well as softened my 10 turn groups by 1/4 to 1/2 inches. we used Lanigan products to purify the receiver as well as KG 2 gimlet polish which makes the inside of the tub gleam similar to the brand new penny. A lot of shooters buy the twenty-two purloin or pistol as well as never purify them. Sorry yet we cant do which as well as never have been able to. we wish my guns purify inside as well as out no matter if its the twenty-two or whatever. we used Lanigan KG1 to remove powder residue as well as KG twelve Bore Cleaner to remove copper. If we cant get your purloin purify with these products we cant get it purify with anything. we followed up with Wilson Combats Ultima Lube gun douse which unequivocally slicks up the bolt as well as the touch of Wilson gun oil for alternative moving parts. Now we have the purify as well as unequivocally smooth action. The Wilson Gun Grease is generally noteworthy in which it is the slickest gun douse we have ever used as well as stays where we put it as well as final for the unequivocally prolonged time.

we was able to squeeze this small used purloin with Simmons operation for $130 afterwards traded in the Simmons operation for the Bushnell for the total cost of $145. Not bad during all for the Marlin similar to this with the complicated target barrel. In reduced this is the unequivocally great purloin during the great cost which has the small great features with most better than normal correctness during stretch which Im sure is due to the complicated match barrel. Of course your wallet feels most better after we squeeze the brick of twenty-two prolonged rifles rsther than than .223s. That as well as they have been only as most fun to fire now as when we were twelve years old!

UPDATE: 6/29/08

we found the something engaging concerning ammo we thought we would pass along. The tiny groups we got were with Remington Copper coated hollowpoints. Yesterday we went out to the operation as well as used the small Winchester lead hollowpoints. The disproportion in correctness was strange to contend the least. My groups non-stop up to 4 to 4 1/2 inches! The ammo wasnt which old as well as there were no alternative factors to account for this disproportion in correctness with the exception of brand as well as the lead bullet. we can only interpretation which the Micro Groove rifling Marlin uses doesnt similar to lead bullets during all. Just the small info for those who wish max correctness should hang with the copper bullet as well as leave the lead ones alone.
