Nice grouping and glad to see another convert to the New Redfields.  You are going to like that scope in low light conditions.

Mind if I ask if you have modded this rifle at all?  what, if anything is your secret combination of o-ring, pressure, bedding combination??

If you take away that one flyer and put 5 bullets through the same hole instead of 2 you'd have a group like my Scout shoots. :P I guess that group ain't too bad though. That's the same scope I've got on my Scout... great scopes for the money. I'm putting one on my 223 Handi too.
Like CW says... those camo stocks are starting to grow on me too.

All 44mag barrels made by Marlin since late 2006 have had .429"-.430" bores and shoot excellent.

I've been reading some good reports on the Redfields, and I've pretty much made up my mind on my next scope for my 45 LC.

American made and basically a lower end Leupold!

Man, now I feel bad.  My Ilion-made .44 only shoots 1-1/2" 100 yd. groups with  a 2-1/2X scope ;)  I'm using the 240 gr. Winchesters too.  I'm thinking about shortening the barrel a bit to 18". to make it a little bit "handier".
