Lesson #1. Never loan your new Marlin to the nephew to use for deer season. I got to take about 20 shots with it sighting it in and this rifle didn't disappoint. Dead on accurate from 50 yards within 4 shots with scope. A touch more recoil than my Ruger but overall I am very impressed. Not too heavy either. Now to my nephew....He didn't clean it after using it and put it in the hard case. I opened the case two months after I loaned it to him and he returned it and it's rusted from tip to stock. I had cleaned it and oiled it before I loaned it to him and it was shockingly covered. I had two other firearms that I loaned them and neither had a speck on them. They were cleaned before I gave them to him. Never seen a rifle rust up that bad that fast. KEEP IT SUPER CLEAN, GREASED, AND OILED!

I have been looking for a 25.06 and was watching Buds for several weeks and trying to figure out which manufacturer / model that I wanted. I scrolled through the Marlin rifles one evening and I found this 30.06 version $100 cheaper than all the other Marlin models and it had an active "make an offer". This rifle was a $100 more the day before!! I read the description several times wondering what gives - nothing gives, it was new and other than it being a 30.06 and not a 25.06 I made an offer and it was excepted. I put a Redfield Revolution 3x9 scope on it and within 7 shots I had it dialed in at 100 yards. I have been going to the 200 yard range and I can get sub MOA 3 round groups with either Hornady American Whitetail ammo or Remington Corlokt both in 150g. I clean the rifle after every use and polished the bolt, but the only knock is the bolt is a little stiff and not very smooth. I am not complaining, I can't believe the accuracy of this rifle. The 30.06 kicks a little, but you can easily shoot a couple boxes out without any issues. 5 stars to Marlin & 5 stars to Buds.

Waited until I could take this gun to the range before writing my review. The rifle was recieved with a couple of minor issues, surface rust was just starting to form on the bolt and the recoil pad had a permanent indention on one side. The bolt is shipped loose with no lubricant or preservative on it. The bolt cleaned up easily with some CLP and scrubbing, and I had planned to replace the stock anyway with a wood laminate. Mounted the scope, bore-sighted the gun, and at the range the initial shots were all within a 4 inch group at 300 yds using Golden Bear (cheap, but good for plinking and initial sighting-in). A few adjustments and was able to put four rounds in the bullseye at 300 yds. Trigger is light and very crisp, bolt action is smooth. Loading takes some practice, the rounds don't naturally slide to the rear of the magazine and if you don't pay close attention you'll get a magazine jam when loading the third round which is difficult to clear.I'm sure this is as much me as the rifle, but I've never had this issue on my Savage 110. Overall, this is a nice rifle especially when the price is considered. It is good out of the box, and lends itself well to modification.I did not experience any issues with the scope base or other loose fasteners as others have reported.

I was so impressed with this rifle I just ordered the same 30-06 in stainless! The triger is the best I have ever experienced on a production gun. The bolt is smooth as silk. The stock is beautifully proportioned. Anthony's Armory in Chattanooga called to tell me the gun was ready for pickup before I even had a chance to contact them after putting the order into Bud's. Bud's had the lowest delivered price with the lifetime warranty and insurance and buy safe guarantee. The gun arrived in perfect condition. A totally painless transaction by Bud's and Anthony's Armory, lowest price, and a high quality product. I am extremely pleased with Bud's, Anthony's Armory, and this Marlin.

Very good rifle. The recoil is not bad and very accurate and reliable. This is one of my favorite weapons to shoot, especially since I added a tripod and scope.

Excellent gun! Mounted a Bushnell BDC 3x9x40 scope on it. Sighted it in with Remington 165 grn ammo and took it to So Africa and shot 5 game animals, all one shot kills. If you want an accurate, rifle for most any hunting you will do, this isit and at a very affordable price.

Very nice gun. Excellent shipping time. Choice was between the XL-7, Savage, or lower end Remington...made the right choice going with the XL-7. Shipment was great. FFL transfer fee was a little high ($30). However, they called me and notified me as soon as gun came in. Don't mind paying a little extra for good service.

Overall, a great rifle. Shooting sub MOA at 100. Would be 5 stars except after my second trip to the range, the scope rail came loose. Fixed it up with some loc tite and I'm good to go. Great rifle for the money.

Prob the best bolt gun period, way way better than my 700 bdl, fluted bolt from factory glides like butter, just work it a few times with oil and its golden, no need to adjust the trigger, and held sub moa groups at 100 yrd. The only thing you got to remember is to let the barrel and bolt cool after 5-8 shots change the stock to a combat one add a bipod or shooting sticks and a good scope since you did not spend $600 on just the gun and you cannot beat this gun I do not care what you think your remmington will do.

Great gun. Totally satisfied.

This rifle sure does far exceed my expectations considering the low price. The fit and finish is on par with many rifles costing much more, and the mechanical workings of the gun function perfectly. The fluted bolt also is very smooth and works well. However, the real jewel on this rifle in my opinion is the trigger. It breaks over very crisply and has absolutely ZERO trigger creep. Another major plus is the very soft and comfortable recoil pad. The gun is very comfortable to handle and shoulder. Overall, I think Marlin hit an absolute grand slam with this rifle. It is solid in every facet (looks good too) and should be considered by anyone who is after a terrific gun at an exceptional value.

I love this rifle, easily shoots MOA with standerd federal blue box. after sighting it in wich did not take long, I was impressed that a sub $300 dollar rifle could shoot so great. I fired two shots this hunting season with it. One dead deer and one less fox chasing my pheasent around. Great service from Buds as usual!

I bought this rifle a few months ago from Bud's when I couldn't get a 30-06 in my favorite brand the NEF "Handi Rifle". I'm glad I couldn't. I love this rifle. The adjustable trigger is great. I took it out this morning and on my first time out I shot just under MOA with hand loads and a Luepold 3x9 scope. I recommend this rifle to anyone looking to get a great rifle for a reasonable price. Way to go Marlin and Bud's. Can't wait for deer season.

Excellent rifle for the price. I purchased this gun last month and shot 50 rounds through it this week. I mounted a Bushnell 3-9 x 40 scope and was shooting tight groups at 100 yards. This rifle is primarily for target shooting, but I see no reason why this gun couldn't be used for game hunting. This is my first bolt action rifle and I am so pleased with its performance. I would highly recommend this gun for the beginner or seasoned shooter. A + in my book.

I bought this particular model last year as a backup to a Weatherby, and for use by my son. Various factory ammo from Remington gave groups averaging 1.5 MOA; a handload I developed gives 5 shot groups averaging 5/8ths of an inch. It's an excellent rifle at an affordable price.

Great rifle. Get a good scope and it looks as good, feels as good and shoots just bout as good as any rifle out there with a synthetic stock. I almost went with another gun to be able to have a removable ammo clip but I am completely satisfied without it and this gun is a breeze to load and unload. With slight pressure the bullets almost fall in. I also thought I would be known among the fellas as the man with the cheap gun but everyone has actually admired the gun and spoken very highly of the Marlin reputation. Marlin has no reputation worries with this low cost shooter! It is very light and and the only negative I found so far is that it does recoil pretty strongly in the 30-06 version. After busting my head with my scope I got another scope with 4 inches of eye relief and that solved that. It is almost unbelievable to get a button rifled, name brand deer rifle that comes with scope base mounts for under $300. Buy it and you won't regret it. Keep in mind also that Remington bought out Marlin shortly before this rifle was produced and it is very similar to many of the top quality Remington rifles and also it seems to have taken a lot from the Savage rifles that have been so highly touted. The local gunshops don't push these or say much about them because they just don't make much on them. Look online and you will find nothing but positive things about this gun.

Excellent rifle regardless of what it cost. I would put it on par with a Remington 700 in out of the box accuracy. Nice touches include a recessed muzzle crown, a nice and smooth bolt, and excellent fit and finish. I highly recommend this rifle to anyone looking for a great deer rifle.
