Thread: Marlin X7 308Win

was looking at getting the marlin for my first cf rifle but i also see the rem 770 is selling for $599 whereas the marlin is $799 which would a more experienced person recommend and what caliber ? mostly for an all rounder at the moment .
Cheers

Get the marlin. I had a play with a 770 and hated it, finish was the worst of any of the budget rifles i handled and the accuracy reports arnt that flash for it either.
Mate has the XS7 in 7mm08, shoots MOA with handloads, my only gripe with it was a blind mag, hardly a deal killer but I prefer hinged Floorplate.

The Ruger americans can be had for $750 in stainless, and they feel like a decent rig, worth a look too.
