[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 707235, member: 41338"] I got my first Marlin, a ported 444 Guide Gun mostly as a curiosity. After hunting with it in the backcountry for a week, I was hooked. A rifle has to shoot well. That goes without saying but the rest of the time your carrying it and I have yet to find anything that carries better than these Marlins. I never expected perfection from these gun makers but they've become absolutely brazen about squeezing the last ounce of profitability out of their product at the expense of their customer. I won't go into detail about the library of quality control issues that went out the door of their plant (Rem/Marlin) but you gotta know it's possible and therefore you do something to prevent it before it happens. Anyway, my 338 MXLR wants to be a shooter but it'll need some professional help. My 338 MX is on it's way back. We'll see. With so many trips from New York to Boise, back and forth again it appears my Marlins are all better traveled than I am. I may even live long enough to see the day I can shoot them. [/QUOTE]
