So why such a bad rap? I have one, got set up and to the range finally. Got a 40 yard zero, good groups on the chicken target. Zeroed on the ram with one shot, then produced 18/20- hits! Never that good with a scoped SB gun. Totally stock, Trigger is OK pretty crisp and 4 1/2 LB, it feels almost identical to my Win 94 HP gun, the wood fit isn't great, but not terrible. I am looking forward to this season with it.

Chuck,certain years had more problems than others.You did not say what year yours is.If it is 2015-16 then maybe some improvements have been made.
Should you start having extraction or misfire problems many on here have remedies.
All hope Marlin has cured its ills on this rifle,as its one of the best choices for our game.
