Default Re: scope for marlin 336

I still stand by what I said. No lever action will produce minute of angle one inch groups at 100 yards like a quality bolt action rifle. Lever action barrels are too short and are not properly bedded, the actions are not sufficiently rigid, and the stocks are designed for fast handling, not for accuracy. I have never seen anyone show up at a target competition with a lever action except at a cowboy or turkey shoot.
