Now there's a real man. The world needs more like you. Respect.

With fishing there is something called catch and release.
Last time I checked every animal I have shot with a gun could not be released back into the wild like a fish can.
To the OP that marlin looks like a nice gun with the adjustable trigger that one guy on the forums said out of the box lets loose at 3.3lbs. That is a nice trigger pull, plus adjustable. Remington 700 style safety and a Savage style barrel mount. and shoots 1 " groups at 100yrds. For a new gun it just cant be beat for the performance price ratio.

vargis14 wrote:I mostly agree. The .308 can match or exceed the 30-06 with light bullets, but the 30-06 owns the 175gr+ territory. Bigger case volume does matter, after all.The 308 and 30-06 have almost identical trajectory's , muzzel velocity's and bullet drop. yes the 30-06 has a bigger brass case but the 308 is a more modern round, thus more powerful powder can be used thus a higher pressure chamber value then the 30-06.

Easy fix to this: squirt a bunch of Hoppe's into the empty chamber, chuck a cleaning rod into a drill with a bronze .30 cal chamber brush on the end, and go to town. I did this with my Ishevsk Russian M38 and my Polish M44, and they're smooth as silk now. I use brass reloadable cases now and the problem hasn't come back.Don't be surprised if the bolt starts binding up on you after several shots; it's a common problem with Mosins. Probably there's still some Cosmoline inside it, and it'll start flowing around & getting sticky once the bolt warms up.
bthylafh wrote:I've heard this. Tried shooting my M44 with the bayonet fixed and then folded, and saw no appreciable difference in windage/elevation at 100 yards. Maybe it only becomes visible at longer distances, I dunno. YMMW.Also the sights were originally zeroed with the bayonet attached because of Soviet infantry doctrine that a soldier would always have his bayonet on the rifle when near the enemy. Thanks to how it's mounted this will affect the bullet's windage.
