I own an MR7 and you won't be sorry. It was difficult to break into the bolt market, but I have to say this rifle is made much much better than the others I looked at at the time Rem 700, Win 70,Ruger77 and a few others.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Anybody out there know anything about the quality of the Marlin bolt action rifle?<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

FANTASTIC

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> That's a good price considering these were marketed in the $450 price range. Still, where do you get spare parts when it breaks? <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE AT MARLIN AND BROWNELLS, YOU WON'T NEED THEM THOUGH

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> The reviews I read when the rifle was introduced were favorable. As I recall Marlin used the best design ideas of the Model 70 and 700 and put them together on the MR 7.

The bolt face is Rem 700 all the way 3 rings of steel, the action and trigger are almost identical to Win 70, the magazine drops down on a hinge type floorplate(detachable) like the browning, and the bolt handle ids like the Ruger77, cut checkered walnut stock. Also 3 position safety like Win 70, red cocking indicator,shrouded striker, 5 year Warranty

Very nice rifle, I plan on buying another one when I find it.
