New guy here and itching to shoot

"Man Child"? Kind of has a neat sound to it lol

Thats what they called Dwight Howard from Orlando. LOL. I might be able to make it either AM, how do I get in? Usually my friend hits the code for me and I follow him in. 12 pack is all hmmmmm Don't have a scope yet for the marlin so will have to iron sight it (which is frustrating on those little targets)

FS73, shoot the 1/2 size targets with the iron sights, you will do fine. Yes the regulation size are small for iron sights, but I did them for 20 years with my old Winchester 52 and made it into the AA class with that.
As for good beginner bolt guns, CZ452 is hard to beat for the price. Just remember good repeatable glass for a scope holds its value, so go with the money in the scope, and let the rifle become what you want it to be in the long run.
Man-child....what a great name for young whipper-snapper.
