Marlin XS7 .308 Winchester Bolt Action Rifle - 22" Barrel, 4+1 Rounds, Synthetic, Fixed Stock

Bought this as a gift for a new hunter . Great shooter and hunting balance..Don't think it's available anymore though .

Great gun shot well fast shipping

Purchased in January 2015, "Season/broke it in with no issue"'. 2016, shot it at my range; started getting light strikes. Changed Ammo, - shot better. 2017, more Light strike problems. 1 Gun smith made adjustment to the Spring; tightened by 1 rotation. 2'nd Gun smith in 2018 - No Resolve. He Called Marlin - Marlin identified the SN, will take it back under warranty. I will know the results - 2019. I doubt I will see this gun before March - Per MarlinOwners Forum with similar problem. One person on Marlin Forum did in fact get the gun back in 10 months - works fantastic again. I hope to see the same, but I will sell it once I get it working. Now- my 243 and 223 in these XS7 Guns , awsome - no issue. I'll update

Price aside, I like this rifle. Price factored in, I love it. I put a Nikon prostaff 3-9x40 on it. I used the base that came with it and bought some medium height Leupold rings. Finally, I put a nice little sling on it. Totally set up, with dealer fee and all taxes, I have less than 500 bucks in this gun. I am shooting 1-1.5" groups at a hundred yards using 150 grain Federal Fusions. I am completely confident out to 300 yards, which is my limit with any rifle. I have two more of these Marlin bolt guns on layaway with buds, a .270 for my 16 year old boy and a .243 for my 13 year old boy. If those are as good as mine, I am going to get my wife one in 7mm-08.

Great gun for the price. Very accurate. Can't go wrong. Love the picatinny rail mount.

I am floored by the look and feel of this rifle...... it appears to be very well engineered and put together. The bolt handle has a nice look and the bolt itself is very smooth. The trigger is just plain sweet. I like the classic lines of the stock vs the Ruger American and the included one-piece base is a bonus. I mounted a Leupold 3x9x50 with medium Burris Signature Zee rings on top and the clearance is perfect. I cannot wait to get to the range ASAP. So far, everything positive that I have read about this gun is true. I am tempted to buy more X7's in other calibers.

Very pleased so far. Nice fit and finish. The action seems smooth without being loose. I added an inexpensive Bushnell Banner Dusk and Dawn scope to it. My aim is not what it was as I am a shaky after radiation treatment for cancer but after one adjustment to the scope I was able to keep 5 rounds consistently in a 1.5" circle. I can only imagine what this could do with a real shooter. At the price I don't think there is any way to go wrong with this rifle.

Recieved the gun in good condition.

This is my 2nd Marlin X7. Just stepped up to the .308 from a .243. I am not the best shot, but this gun is a tack driver. Don't waste your money on a Savage Axis or Rem 770. Get the Marlin, and spend the cash you save on a nicer scope. Make sure you buy it from Bud's. Service doesn't get much better than this!

Pros= great adjustable acu trigger, bolt is smoot, very accurate, very solid, very inexpensive,easy to mount scopes due to pic rail that comes installed with rifle. Cons= stock is kinda cheap, rail comes loose(make sure you tighten before you mount your scope) Overall= this is a great rifle for the price and it is way better then the rem 770, I have even heard people say this rifle shoots better then there rem700!
