I can get 1in or better with the .357 but it has open sights and my eyes are starting to go. I can hit coke cans and clays out to 75 yds with no problems. I bought the .357 because I have a 6 shooter and they compliment each other. Both the .357 and .44 are Marlins and I have to say they are very good guns. I have had no problems with either and they seem to be really accurate.
I have a buddy that has the same gun as above but in .45LC and it is a thumper as well.
