[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 706809, member: 41338"] The MXLR (24" barrel) was right at 2545 fps. The MX (22" barrel) I didn't clock yet because I was just shooting, cleaning and getting it on paper. It should be close to 2500 fps though. At the time, I was sort of transitioning to going all lever action. This whole experience has cooled me down however. After doing some research, I discovered the market was flooded with defective Marlins (no doubt an executive decision rather than absorb the loss of pulling defective units off the line). My experience is not unique. I'm a fairly loyal person, almost to a fault but Remington/Marlin doesn't even acknowledge there was even a problem and the gun media is mum (I guess I know what that's all about). It sorta reminds me of some people I've worked with. They want the paycheck but the job they could do without. I'm now liking what those Finns are doing at Sako/Tikka. [/QUOTE]
