I'd be more inclined to hope for 3" or 4", unless Remlins are worse than I imagine they are.

Good enough to hit pop cans at ~50 yards, if that tells you anything.

A decent one would get 2-3" with a load it likes. A new Remlin; would not touch one.

Wow, doesn't seem worth the risk for dropping $550-$600 on a rifle that will shoot 3-5 MOA with a scope at best.

They're better with loads that they like, WWB isnt the best ammo accuracy wise normally, 2-3 moa is pretty likely with good ammo/reloads but mine are all marlins and winchester

Accuracy can be problematic in lever actions, due to the magazine hung under the barrel, and the changing vibrations as the number of cartridges in the magazine changes.

My Remlin 1894, made in 2012, shoots just fine, can bust clays on the berm at 100 yds. Likes Fiocchi 240gr jsp for factory loads. Handloads, starline brass, cci primer and ~20-22 gr ramshot enforcer or hodgdon lil gun under 240gr xtp shoots just as well with a little bit more punch. Remember its not a precision rifle, does what it's designed to do very well. Btw fit and finish is very good, nice wood and so far no cycling issues.

I'll never get another.
Had a JM stamped 1894 that was 5 MOA on its best day, scoped, with reloads. Some ammo was substantially worse. I have an iron sighted 1892 Winchester that would easily outshoot it. With any ammo. |

Never said it was. Then if you put that much into it, obviously the rifle was a turd. |

I have one, 3" no problem maybe better depending on you and what you put through it. Took a little buck in Maine last year, about 50 yards away, hits like a ton of bricks.

I wouldn't get too bent out of shape on 3-5" MOA thing, it is shooting a bullet with aerodynamics of a 50's Chevrolet so you aren't going to be shooting more than 100 yds before it loses it's ass. The other thing to consider with these is that the recoil is not negligible on hot hunting loads. I loaded up some 180's at 2300fPS (Max load for H110) and let me tell you that was stout. |

I had a 73 Octagon that would cloverleaf at 50 yards with peep sites and hit golf balls at 100 yards with reloads. I wouldn't touch a new one though, way too many horror stories out there to risk the chance. Find an older one if you can.

I just got back from the range with a 1984 Marlin .44 that I just bought. At 25yds, I shot a 1" group with the first two sharing a hole. I know that'll open up a bit over 100 yds but not bad for a rifle that induces a little flinch. I put my paws on a brand new Marlington/Remlin (whatever) 1894 in .44 that was on the shelf and it was tight. The wood looked good, fit and finish was nice and sights were straight. Action was a little stiff but that's expected with a new one. I think their quality is on the rise. The one I looked at looked great.
roy d...but the proof is at the range not the shelf |

I have a year old "Remlin" Fit and finish are excellent and I have no problem busting clay targets at 100 yrds. On paper it will do 21/2" or less all day long. YMMV

I would expect 3 inch groups which is good for any game you might hunt with that rifle. I use a quality 240 gr jacketed bullet with the Winchester recommended load of 296 powder as an accuracy standard. If that load does not work, it is probably the fault of the gun.

4-5" MOA all damn day!! Unfortunately mine is the same as most, 4-5" with a 4x leupold. The remington 180s seem to shoot the best in mine, I haven't had time to load for it yet. I can get a decient 3 shot group but by the time I get all 5 shot it ends up being 4-5" had some smaller not on average.

I see on the Marlin site that the twist rate for the .44 Magnum is 1-38", which to me seems a bit slow.
Regarding accuracy, and only as a comparison, my 1873 Uberti .44 Magnum does a little over 2" @ 100 yds. with the factory irons and my 50+ year old eyes.. FWIW it has a 1-20" twist. |
