I'm thinking, because of price point, it might be a good all round hunter given good optics. What say you? Greg

They are good, accurate rifles and bargain priced too. I have the same thing in .243 with Savage on the barrel, but the action and trigger are the same. Shoots good and it's a keeper.

I was also checking out the Marlin XL7. It has their version of the Accutrigger, think it's called a Pro-Fire and is adjustable. Greg

Glassed stock is an unfinished walnut from Brownell's with a floated barrel channel to the barrel nut. Rifle Basics trigger set at 38 oz. Factory recoil lug replaced with a .250" machined SS one from Sharp Shooter Supply. It's now grouping five shots into .683" at 100 yards. The load used is 120 grain Nosler BT's pushed by 42.5 grains of Varget, RP brass weight sorted and BR-2 primers. I'm seating the Noslers .012" off the lands. Chronographed velocity from the factory 22" barrel averaged 2957 fps. Tom Last Edited By: GaCop 03/15/09 01:43 PM. Edited 1 times.

I got my Marlin and scope last week and took it out to the range yesterday. I was just using 150gr Remington SP Core-Lokt cartridges. I mounted and boresighted a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5x14x40 with the BDC reticle. I didn't have 100 yards to shoot, but for sighting in, I had 50. I have it dialed in for deer, but I'd like to get it out to a longer range. Marlin's Pro-Fire trigger is awesome! Greg Last Edited By: gpschmidt 03/17/09 12:28 PM. Edited 1 times.
