RE: Marlin XL-7?? Anybody shot one?
I got one a couple wks ago in a .270. I was suprised at how well it shot. It will out shoot the 2 Rem. 700's that we took to the range with it. After getting the scope where I wanted it I shot a 3 shot group at 100ydsthat all touched. After letting it cool abit my buddy shot 3 in under an inch. My buddy and I both have around $1000 in the Remingtons and the Marlin made them look bad right out of the box and I have about $400 in it with the scope and mounts. Plus the Marlin has the adjustable trigger similar to the accu-trigger on a Savage. Theres no way I will pay for another Remmy when I can get one of the Marlins for less than half there price but I don't collect guns I hunt with them.
