TC Venture or Marlin XL7
So I'm looking for a lowered priced 30-06. From what I have read, there is roughly 4 or so guns that meet this criteria....Marlin XL7, Tikki, Savage, and Thompson Center Venture.
I have narrowed it down to the following....and I would like your thoughts. Marlin XL7 - $289.99 Thompson Center Venture - $344.25 Thoughts? |
Mossberg has one also. Howa's aren't bad either.
|
Stevens Model 200 as well, made by Savage. $299 in my neck of the woods.
|
Pick one, but make sure to put some "good" glass on it.
Anyone of them will out shoot me, once I find the "right ammo". A "good" scope will make me, "the best I can be" !!! |
Marlin by a mile. I have a savage and a marlin xl7. The XL7 is alot of rifle for the money. i can't find anything to complain about with this rifle.
|
The Marlin is an amazing rifle for what you get for 300$. The TC Venture MAY offer a little better accuracy out of box due to TC's excellent quality barrels, but at a cost of almost 200$ more. You can get a Marlin XL-7, scope, sling, and ammo for what you'd pay for the venture.

How can you save more bucks on a Tikka when it sells for a lot more than 300$? The Marlin XL-7 is not a package deal-to my knowledge it don't come from the factory as a package deal at this time.

I think he meant to save some more money to get the Tikka. I'm a Tikka fan also, which would be my preference....
