Reminds me of a quick sea story.
My neighbor is every ground hogs worse nightmare. His GH to Valhalla tally averages 30 to 40 a year and he has been at it for over a decade. His weapon of choice is a Bushmaster Varminter, a phenomenally accurate gun.
And I basically gave the gun to him 11 years ago: I hated the Varminter, everything about it was wrong for me. I had some really long range GH kills with it, but I just did not like it. I traded it to him for a Ruger Ranch rifle, which he disliked.
In his hands the Varminter whistles GH's to a swift demise.
So the thing is, my advice like so many others here, see if you can shoot whatever you fancy in advance of purchase. Expectations of a match between shooter and gun are often off by Cardinal Headings.
I love the Ranch Rifle and the Marlin...other may not and I really get it.
