Customer Reviews for Marlin X7Y .243 Winchester Bolt Action Rifle

I just got this gun in yesterday and I am extremely happy with it! I bought it for my 8 year old son to hunt whitetail. It's a little long/heavy for him although he is only 8. After sighting it in, he was very accurate with it, when using some kind of rest. His first hunt was successful! This .243 had devastating results on his deer when using 100 grain Federal Premium Vital Shok Nosler Partition bullets. I bought him an adjustable shooting stick for next time to steady out his shot. This should help him until he is a little bigger. He loves shooting this rifle and he can easily manage the very mild recoil.
