RE: The new .308 Marlin
I didn't mean to be misleading, As some have pointed out it is called the XLR. I have a heavy barreled bolt gun with a timney trigger that I use strictly for box stands with shots well over 200 yards, I still have my old ruger m77 that I bought new in 1986 andI useitat some of our other stands whereI don't really need my big heavy barreled bolt gun. And for a knocking around gun that I don't mind dinging or scratching and that I use for stuff like hunting from a climbing standI have a Remington model 760 with the parkerized finish and synthetic stocks in 30-06. I shoot 165's through it and I love it. Sooooo I really can't justify running out and getting that new Marlin, but I think it will be very popular and should be here to stay, maybe in a couple years I can get one just to have one lol.
