Have had my Marlin 39 since second grade in 1952 and can honestly say have never had another 22 to compare. Ruger 77/22 and Win 52 repro just do not handle same. Once in early 60's Dad & I decided to scope it, and to zero made a crude vise on a sawhorse to hold rifle secure, one shot then andjusted crosshairs to hole. Seemed to my young eyes at the time to be one hole groups at 5o yards, not that I cared for that level of accuracy at the time. Tin can accuracy out to 75 yards was more fun than punching holes in paper.
