[QUOTE="Tyler Kemp, post: 195747, member: 6290"] Well, I got this rifle from my grandpa after it sat in a damp basement closet for 20+ years. It looked like: [IMG]http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h190/tykempster/SingleShotMarlinAction.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h190/tykempster/SingleShotMarlinBarrel.jpg[/IMG] I just did a quick refinish and sprayed on some ceramic coating paint stuff, it looks good enough, but the wood turned out real red, I've since added tru-oil to give it some shine: [IMG]http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h190/tykempster/Cleanedupsingleshot.jpg[/IMG] I was bored, so today I put some nails to hold a 4"x4" metal plate up on a long board. I stuck it in the ground at 200 yards (lasered), but I couldn't see the plate, so I made a big white square on the board. After about 10 shots I knew where to hold and repainted the plate. I was shooting prone at first, but couldn't get how I wanted, so I started shooting off of my Bushnell 1500's case. Shooting went really well, except the plate fell every time I hit it, making me get up and walk 200 yards to set it up, hence the 4 shot group instead of 5.:mad: It looks like it is just under 2 inches:eek: , I was really impressed since my open sight abilities aren't that great and I was shooting off a rangefinder case as a front rest, nothing for a back one.
