Marlin 30-30/308 XLR?

I have not tried the new longer barrel model but they should improve the ballistics of the shorter barrel a little. The newer 308 Model will have more velocity and ME than the 30-30.

I handled a XLR 30-30 for the first time over the weekend and am very impressed with the feel and balance. I doubt that I will ever own one since I have a brand new 336SS, but I was impressed with the gun.

The marlin 308MX (that fires the marlin 308 Express) isn't even in the hands of any retailers yet. I called all around Kansas City and no one has it. Cabela's said they will have them on sale as of Oct 31st. It will retail at $699 (over $200 more than a new marlin 336C in 30-30 or 35 remington). Coupled with a good scope and open sights it looks like it will be the ultimate deer rifle It's funny because Cabela's actually has the 308 Express ammo but no rifle [&:].....

Just because Cabelas doesn't have them, doesn't mean no one does. There is one on Marlinowners.com in the classifieds now, and there is talk of other dealers having them.
