Mykl,

I shot the gun about 4 times with 3-4 shots per sitting. Like you say, ouch!

I was really looking forward to shooting it this hunting season.

As an aside, it cost $18.50 for a box to send the rifle and another $24 to send it to Marlin 2nd day air via UPS. I sent it to Marlin under warranty repair and I expect them to fix it and send it back for free.

BTW, did you know that UPS will no longer allow ASOs (Authorized Shipper Outlets) to forward ship firearms??? I never saw this in the recent discussion about UPS deciding to ship handguns only by 2nd day air.

E-mail sent.

Thanks,

Albin
