Marlin 1894 Dark Series .44 Mag

Had my Marlin 1894 Dark Series for a while now and I was due to make some clips over at SSAA Silverdale… but I think we all know what happened over last 2 weeks especially in NSW 🙁

As a result of having not been to the range for last 2 weeks - I’ve been really itchy for a shoot. So I went to SSAA St. Marys instead - might as well as I was catching up with other shooters to have a look at the old Mauser and Mosin Nagant they’ve recently acquired (which I will write about later on)

As I plan to keep my Marlin purely ironsight only; I thought I’d give it a bit more practice at St. Marys, and ended up with a bit more clips. Now I heard that making small clips around a minute is a great way to get views on YouTube 🙂 so what I have done is edited together today’s clip and some clip from last time - to create this video.

I was quite confused as to where the very last round went at St. Marys. And I thought I probably had stupidly shot neighboring benches target instead of mine (which happens a lot to me!) … but it all became clear to me where it went when I reviewed the clips after I got home …

Very nice, how is the balance with the bipod on the front?

Not great. the hand-guard is short, and the sling stud is why too too forward, so the adapter plate of my “Harris bipod” can only half-resting on the hand-guard, maybe Atlas would be better?? Anyway, I am gonna make a series of YT clips in details about this gun. Stay tuned!

Thx.

And the action is actually smooth enough, albeit Henry is probably even smoother.

I’d probably just ditch the bipod and use a bag.
