Takem,

I bought a Marlin MR-7, about a year and a half ago, from a local sporting goods retailer. At that time, the model had already been discontinued and I bought the rifle on a close-out basis for about $350.00. The only calibers available, then, were 30-06 & .270 & I chose a .270 for my son. It's a great rifle with some very good features. We've been very happy with it. It seems like Marlin never really penetrated the bolt action marketplace like they hoped to. Maybe this is why the MR-7 is now discontinued. Too bad - it's a nice rifle. Good luck with yours.
