The most accurate 22LR I own, by far, is a Marlin 39A.


Were they doing that micro- groove thing yet when that was made?
I've got one of those lever-matic models in .22mag, but it has some feeding issues. It's an accurate shooter though if you feed it by hand. It has the micro groove.

Well, I have several 39As so I'm not sure. I'll have to look tomorrow. I think it's a 1967 mfg date so it probably is pre micro-groove but I'll double check to make sure.

'67 would be pre-plated 22LR so I'm not sure why the old ballard rifling would be more accurate with plated pills. Then again, all three are very accurate but this one is insanely accurate.
