Marlin XT17VRO 17 BA HB WS 4&7 DLR - 22" Barrel, 7+1 Rounds, Synthetic, Fixed Stock

had mine for almost 5 years now,,,,its very accurate and reliable, great trigger,,,,would buy another,,,,,

Got the gun out of the box, shot a paper plate at 50 yards 3 shots later I was cutting bullet holes, it is a very nice shooting rifle , can't wait to get after some squirrels with it this fall!

Cross Hairs tilted. Big deal! It's as simple as loosening the scope and turning it until level. That does not effect the boresight. Boresighting the weapon is designed to get you on paper. Mine was tilted as well, however, it was as simple as loosening the scope and leveling it. The elevation was dead on at 50 yards. I had to make one bold defection adjustment and one final adjustment. I have to say the shot group is amazing on this weapon. 6 rounds dead on driving nails at 50 and 100 yards. Good weapon. Very accurate and consistant. Trigger pull is great. Took about one week to get the weapon shipped from the time I ordered it. That's the longest I have ever waited for a weapon from Buds. Oh, well, I guess they were busy. Good weapon. Good price. I'm very satisfied all around.

I picked this little gem up from my local gun shop and took it straight to the range to test it out. The scope it comes with isnt the greatest if your looking to competition shoot with it, but target/ varmint shooting it works just fine. Once I got it sighted in at 100m, it shoots under a minute all day long. I put some CCI 20g soft tip and 17g Hornady Vmax through, both shot very good. I took it out squirrel hunting this past week, this thing is a varmint slayer. It shoots so fast your target is down as soon as you pull the trigger. I would recomend this gun to anyone who is looking for a good varmint gun or target plinker, very accurate and very fast.

Received Rifle in good condition. The only problem with the rifle is magazine system. In order for it to chamber a round is to put upward pressure on the clip and it worked fine. I had to tighten the magazine channel on the clips because they sat in rilfe very sloppy, lots of side to side, and up and down slop. It is not the usual quality I would expect from Marlin. Shooting wise It was no problem holding less than 1" groups at 75 yards. I am very satisfied with it's performance.

Bore sighted? yeah right; the cross hairs are tilted. The stock feels worst than an airsoft toy gun. Never trade it for wood, you will regret the mistake.
