Marlin XL7
- Thread starter Die eye dyck

- Niagara Region, Ontario. For now
I have one with a $250 Bushnell 3200 3-9 on it, and it is a rock solid setup that has stood up to quite a bit.
It also shoots sub MOA groups with factory ammo if I am doing my part.
I would not hesitate to buy another, and I plan to!

I'm pretty sure they were/are on sale for $329 at wholesale sports.

Buy one you "WILL" be pleasantly suprised as to the accuracy that they are capable of.
Checked out the bore with a borescope on a couple of them, sure look like they were lapped. No bad spots and zero copper fouling found after shooting 20 rounds.

I got mine for $279.66 in 25-06/camo from WSS. It arrived yesterday. I did, however, have to call them after two weeks of waiting to remind them to fill the order. Just resized some .270 Win brass and going to shoot it tomorrow probably. I had one before in 7mm-08 and I really liked it. Snooze you lose. Actually, I just checked their website. It's the camo version (click on MODEL XL7C & XS7C under 'type') in 25-06, 30-06, and the 7mm-08 that is still on sale. Apparently. Sometimes. Maybe. Specific enough for you, Bruce?

One thing I really like about the xl7 is that there is a wood variant available for a few extra bucks..... I handled one at Lebarons and thought it was pretty nice.... If they had one available in a good yote calibre at the time I would have bought one....
I am pretty sure the XL7 came out post marlington era.... I can't speak for the lever guns as I never liked them (personal choice).....
They were created post marlington era (08 I believe)...so quality is the same... I really can't speak much for the lever guns... I never liked them as I have never been a fan of that action.... what I can say is that those that have used the xl-7 afield offer rave reviews.... and the price puts them in budget for most.. and theio ris awood option available which I like...

Thanks, just ordered mine in 25-06. Going to replace the camo stock with a Boyds thumbhole.
I bought a youth model for my wife in 7mm-08 and it shoots great. With the shorter stock it makes a great winter rifle for me when I have to wear a heavy coat. I shot a nice timber wolf with it this past December.

Wow thanks for all of the info!
I haven't heard one bad thing about this rifle. This will most likely be on my wish list.
Going to the Edmonton outdoorsmen show this Thursday, maybe their be some there. If not WSS here I come.
