The standard Marlin stock and forend of today feel fat to me.

I have some 168 gr. HPGC loads with Unique. I will get them a try after I get all the bugs worked out. No big issues with the gun. Worst problem is the ejection. It's what I call a "Limp Dick" ejection. The empty cases roll out onto my shooting hand and fall to ground by my feet. Makes it easy to find the brass but sometimes you wonder if they are gonna make it out of the gun.

I have some fixes for it but it's working and I would rather work up some loads for it... at least for now.
