    I went shopping with the wife today, got board & went to the gun shop for a box of v-max for the 223 & a look around. We got chatting about the price & quality of 223 ammo. Long story short i walked out of the shop after leaving a deposit on one of these.http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/17HMRMagnum/917.asp Any of you have one? How do ye rate them? I think i got it at a very reasonable price. €399 including 100 remington shells

    Sorry for the late reply ,as for the Remmie shells 5 misfires round after round thought it was the firing pin until I put in Hornandy(Red) & Federal Ballistic (Black) Tips .Never had a misfire with any of them to date.As for the mod & scope ,Wildcat mod ,strippable very good mod as HMR is a dirty round & Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40 bit pricey but worth it.Great little package absolutely deadly accuracy,my son uses this rifle & constantly drops crows & rabbits at distances 173 yards best to date .Enjoy the rifle you won't be disappointed fabulous power and accuracy for a Rimfire.
