I like the feel of it already and all I did was clean it up a little. The mount and rings I got do not snug up on the rail so I will have to send them back. I may go to Walmart or somewhere close to see if I can find something that will work. Other than that...so far so good.
Today was deer opener but it is the front stuffer opener. I was told to keep my powder dry so I stayed home. It was raining pretty good at 430 this am so I just went back to bed. I have 8 days left.
***I started digging through my throw away scopes and I found a pair of Picatinny rings that fit the rail and are the right height. The scope is set...although not comfortable to shoot and if I want to bring it back farther I will need an oversized charging handle.
I will put a bipod on it tomorrow and snap some photos when it is lighter outside. I may do an outside shot. I think I will like this rifle and, I may sell the Mossberg 3030 so I can get another Marlin 3030. It was a lot better shooter out of the box than this clunker is.
More later.
