As everyone knows, many members are really struggling to find ammo that fires let alone get the groups we got 10 years ago.
I have two Marlin 917's and out of the last 3 boxes of ammo:
Winchester 5-10 out of 50 went off the first time
CCI 10 out of 50 went off the first time
Hornady 40 out of 50 went off the first time but shot 1 1/2" at 50 yards
Serious question: What's a guy to do?
No one will buy the used rifles when you tell them the truth. Your only option is to sell it to a pawn shop or Cabelas and you would probably be lucky to get $75-100 for a Marlin 917 considering you can get a new XT out the door for $250
For that little money, is it just time to put the rifles up and see what ammo is like in 5 years? Or do you cut your loses, fund other projects, and buy again should this get fixed in the future?
Just curious what everyone who has been having problems thinks
