rodent no 2 was particularly entertaining and the impact could be seen of the penetrating pill hitting the dirt behind him.

what sort of distance

That one was 110yds...even though a killing shot through the head, all I could find was a blood trail going back to the burrow, tough little critters.

Nice work. The marlins are nice and accurate. Keep wanting to upgrade my pre remlin marlin 22 but then I shoot it and reminded why I dont need to.

Back near the front of the action ? If so, its where a block or round bit dovetails in for the front action screw to screw in, I think :homer:
