TCFORLIFE Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm getting ready to pick a used Marlin 17v and was wondering if anybody could give any feed back. Likes/dislikes. How good does yours shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tped Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I bought one used about 6 weeks ago and was pretty disappointed. Maybe I expect too much but the trigger is horrible - had creep and far too heavy. I have tried probably 10 brands of 17HMR ammo and can't get anything to shoot sub moa. Actually I have yet to find any 17HMR that I thought shot as good as claims. Maybe I am expecting too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 my dad has one and he loves it. it shoots really good with the hornady v-maxs. i thought about getting one but i just cant make myself spend soo much on shells. ill stick to my 22 and shoot all day for what they spend shooting for half an hour.

TCFORLIFE Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'll try and post some pics of groups after I get a chance to shoot it. The trigger doesn't feel bad at all. I've got plenty of 22's to plink with, so the cost of ammo doesn' bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
