Like I said I get lucky, yes it shoots really well. I shoot mostly plinkers and cast in it I have other guns to shoot high end loads and have come to really like the old 36.
Heres how well the whatevers smile on me, a friend came over one day said his friend needed money, had a 87 336 RC 30-30 with scope and sling in pristine shape, also a 56 Mountie also in pristine shape, he was asking $275 each, I asked if he would take $500 for the pair. One phone call later and they become mine. Went looking for a .22 got jerked around by the NICS crap so I picked up a local paper, seen two Marlin lever .22s for sale $225 and $250 went to see them one a 2003 39AS the other a 54 Mountie offered $400 for the pair he took it and threw in cases for them. But then I've had to pay for some other things to feed my lust for guns. ;D
