Lever action accuracy. Surprising.....

[jpm2953]

Took a few of my lever actions to Georgia gun club today and went out to 100yards. Been shooting them since I was a teenager but never really sat down and tried to shoot a good group. Only snapped two pictures but one is with my 35 Remington and the other picture is my 444 marlin.

Can’t believe how good it will shoot! Especially with a 6lb trigger! Yes, only a 3 shot group.
444 was factory Hornady 265gr Lever revolution and 35 rem was my handloads. 200gr Sierra over some H335.

never seen a group with a lever action @ 100 yds like that. Better keep and consider long range tournayments with them.

You can't beat the old microgroove barrels. My 35rem usually shoots 1.5"-2" groups at 100 yards but I've managed to clover leaf a few three shot groups a couple times.

Irons or a scope?

Who am I kidding, either way - great job!

Wish I could do that iron sights at 40 yards! The 444p has a 3-9x40 VX2 Leupold and the 336 has a 2-7x33 VX1

Very nice! Both definitely keepers.
