My Marlin 44 mag- report

[Rifleman]

Got my new Marlin 1894 44 mag with a EO TECH holosight dialed in to day with Win 240 gr JSP's. I like the set up, it is fast. I think the rifle will shoot better then I am able to hold with that particular sight at 100 yds. Likely a scope would be a better choice for target work. However for hunting, I like it. After I got it shot in, I loaded it up to it's max capacity of 10 rds and shot it offhand at speed, lever,shoot, lever,shoot. I engaged targets at 25 yds, 50 yds and 100 yds. No timer on hand but I was empty in a few seconds. Hit 9 for 10. I think it will work out just fine for a woods gun.

Hope you get one with it this season. Me,, I'll be using the 10ML during gun season, they don't trust us with centerfires with long barrels here in the Buckeye state yet.

I believe there is a little "spacer" in the magazine tube that when removed allows it to be 13 shots.

rifleman, just to let you knowi got a small doe on 12/4/07 with my 44 mag rifle using 200 grn xtps at 1950 fps. i kind of errored, when i shot she looked liked she was facing me and here she had her butt to me. it was weird i havent seen a deer turn its head around like that? well any way the bullet went threw its right rear cheek broke the leg and shot a piece of bone out the side of the leg, the bullet proceded up threw the stomach, threw one lung and grazed the heart. it didnt have a exit hole but i couldnt find the bullet. it was getting dark and i dont butcher my own deer and couldnt see up int the chest cavity. i was impressed the bullet traveled that far!
