Is the price the same???? Or has it gone up???

I was wondering about the new stock coming in

I was wondering about the new stock coming in

we re still offerring for $379 and $429 for those that order now. Once they are in inventory, might be a little more, depending on Marlin's '09 prices and exchange rates.

Not sure why so few shops are carrying these. They are a really nice 'entry level' rifle.

Let me know if anybody has a black in .25/06.

What calibers will you be getting in???

What calibers will you be getting in???

All three: 270, 30/06, 25/06 in both camo and black. However, its likely we are alreay presold-out in camo 270.
We also have, on order, a bunch ofXS7's which are the sme rifle but in 243, 7/08, ad 308. ie, the 'S' is for short. No timeline for them yet.

Do these come with a Weaver-style aluminum scope base like I have read in the USA. ?

 

[fergie.17]

the 30-06 i picked up came with weaver two piece bases, all reviews i've read spoke about one piece base that came with the gun. go figure i would pick up an odd ball!

Thats odd, I just ck'd the Marlin website, and they say they come with a one piece base.

they also say the XL7 will be offered in an attractive American Walnut and Brown Laminated Hardwood stock versions.

 

[Why not?]

My 30-06 came with two Weaver bases. The 270 arrived with a one-piece Weaver-type base marked "Made in China."

like i said, i would pick up an odd ball. i'm going to have to check out the laminated version when they come out!

 

[416ON]

I can't find one in stock anywhere. Looks like I'll be waiting until Feb.

Yep, we'll have most all calibres in both camo in black sometime in Feb. I think we are sold out of camo .270's though already. Might be able to get more but we took everything the distributor had at the time.

Any other range reports?

Had a chance to take my 30-06 XL 7 (that got from Clay here) to range this Saturday. Right out of the box 2" groups at 100 yard! Second three...1" grouping. The range officer thought I must be a marksman! ...Hardely.. it is the gun.

Very pleasant and forgiving rifle to shoot. No excessive kicking at all. Everybody at the range agreed that it is now the champion of "the best bang for the buck" category, replacing Stevens 200.
