Here is my homebuilt copy of a .22 Marlin model 1892 , copied from yet another rifle I inherited from my Grandfather.. When I feel good I shoot this one in 4 different matches . This is an early picture as it now wears a rear peep and a front globe sight.
I built this rifle in 2 weeks including casting the bronze butt plate. Then I spent 2 months getting it to work flawlessly for competition.
2 of my favorite matches are offhand at 40 , 50 , 75 and 100 yards against persons using scoped .22s. Winning against scoped rifles with their aftermarket replacement triggers and spacegun stocks makes me grin inside.
