Any Marlin XS7 rifles here yet?

[Why not?]

Okay, boys and girls, no load development, first load tried with 139 gr Hornady Interlock, 44gr IMR 4350, WLR primer

First two shots were a four inches high and almost an inch right. Adjusted scope and went to right target. Pulled one shot very badly , other four are in 11/16 inch.

Seven pounds, five ounces with Leupold 4X. It will work as a sheep rifle.

And, here's the package.

It will also work as a moose, caribou and moose outfit.

Strange that the vertical stringing did not occur at all with the 160 Accubonds or the 154 gr Interlocks. Perhaps just operator error.....it has happened a few times before.

Thanks for your report Ted...Does the rifle come with bases and if not what # Weavers did you use?
Thanks again,

 

[Why not?]

All of them came with bases, either two Weavers, or a one-piece aluminum marked Made in China.

The 7mm-08 came with Weavers.

they also take the same bases/rings as a Winchester Model 70, so you could use superior mounts like Talleys if you desire great guns these Marlins are, Ive been tempted to buy one to try

 

[Why not?]

Have you seen or sold any in 25-06 at OS, yet? They had a couple here at the Sports Lodge, gone instantly, haven't heard how they shoot.

Within the last month I've picked up 2 XS7's- one for my brother, another for my father. Here's a link I posted on another forum with a report on both rifles:
