You could take both the Marlin and Bruno down to Cecil Park, and use the test range to determine the winner. The rifle gets clamped onto the bench, so no chance of deliberate flyers. Same ammo, or best ammo for each rifle.

The only way to definitively determine the winner is scientifically :)

Then everyone can walk away with a beer and a smile!

Well we could have both shooters trial both rifles, however if one was biased who is to say that he wouldn't pull shots? But of course the Marlin would be the disadvantaged as the Bruno is allegedly the superior firearm.

The only way to effectively do this is to campaign the Marlin in Sporter Class and brass a few of the Bruno shooters from the mound. I will though write an article on the rifle when I finally acquire it.
