I finally have new Marlin XL7 on it's way and picking up this Sat for $299. I will be using this gun for whitetails and yotes. In regards to factory ammo I was going to compare Std Rem Core-Lokt in 120 gr and Hornady SST in 117 gr.This ammo runsabout $24-25/box. I do not want to pay for premium ammo which is not necessary IMO onthis game. Every gun shoots different but I am interested in hearingwhat ammo works best for them.
