RE: xl-7
I got 1 in the shop the other day for a buddy and frankly,it suprized the hell out of me. Not only good ergonomics,but darn good trigger,and accurate well beyond what you would think for it's price.

I have one in a .270 and it will put 3 in under an inch at 100 yds. The adjustable trigger is a nice extra. In my opinion there hard to beat for the money. I won't buy anymore Rem 700's for more than twice the money when I can get the Marlins for $300 and they will do anything the Remmy's will doin the woods.

They are coming out with a short action version for 2009. It will be called the XS-7, available in (if memory serves me correct) .243, 7mm-08 and .308 calibers. I read this on outdoorlife's web site.

RE: xl-7
Like already stated, the XL-7 isnt a bad little rifle for the price. Dont really care for the trigger, other than that my .270 Win shoots just over an inch with 5 shot groups. I applied some Duracoat over the stock and threw a Leupold 4.5x14 M1 Mark 4 on it in Warne bases and rings and called it good.

That's a awesome scope ya got on it. If you ever decide to throw it away,let me know and I'll see that it's "disposed" of

I think it would be the other way around there SB, the rifle is disposable.[8D]

Duracoat is a 2 part coating that is appiled with an air brush or LPHV.It's fairly durable when appiled properly andit's availible in many colors, if you are interested try looking here http://www.lauerweaponry.com/
Here's the whole rifle, it was actually just a quick job.
Here's one that took a little more time.
