Used a Marlin Model 9, which is a semi-auto rifle in 9mm Luger, for 'yotes in swamps and fairly thick cover for a couple of years. Did OK but never had a shot over 50yds (more like 20yds), the 'yotes did drop fast. Had a 1.5X scope on and grouped around 1 1/4" @ 100yds which was good enough and a bit surprising. Would not even consider using it on Deer, just not enough true stopping power. The Marlin is a nice, short and quick gun in those conditions.
