Has anyone shot this ammo from Remington yet? My 1971 Marlin loves it. It groups close to half an inch at 50 yards. I have a 2-7x33 VX1 scope on the gun, and I left it zero'd dead on at 50 yards. I plugged it into Nikon's spot on program, and it says only 5 inches low at 200 yards and still 800 ft-lbs of energy. 

I didn't have my Leverevolution with me, but had some winchester gray box 150's, and they didn't shoot anywhere close to the hog hammers. 

Supposed to be a low flash propellant too, which I think would be good for deer hunting, which is what I am going to use it for. 

There are both groups I shot with it. Off a sandbag with stock heavy trigger. Figure in the woods, this would be deer death!!

Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

I was surprised how well it shot. The trigger is way to heavy. I may have to get that seen about.

 I could h have bought a Marlin lever gun in my late teens for 105 dollars and it had a 25 dollar rebate. My dad wouldn't buy it for me, even though I had the money at home. I was so pissed. But I would have probably put some of those see through rings and a 4x tasco on it. And then thought I was somebody. 

I hope to kill a deer or two with it this season. 

And I love leverguns too. 

Can you find ammo easily for the 35 Remington?

Sweet shooting 30-30 Excellent. Lever guns defeated Custer at the Little Big Horn. They were the AK or AR of their day.

The fact that Custer wore an Arrow shirt didn’t help!😂
