I have a marlin bolt action with a heavy arse barrel.
It's fun to shoot, but louder than I thought.
Was hoping I wouldn't need ear plugs like .22 lr.
Never hunted anything with it.
Just bought to plink at 100-200 yards and not spend tons of $ in ammo.

I have the same gun and LOVE it. It's much louder than that little bitty bullet will leave you to believe. At the deer lease earlier this year, my dad says to me, "hey shoot that armadillo over there with your .17." I load it up and squeeze one off, he says, "What the heck, why'd you shoot your deer rifle instead of the .17?!"
