Has anyone seen, shot, have any firsthand knowledge of this rifle? I sure don't need another c.f. rifle, but for the price, it looks like something I should have. Maybe a .270 to take into the woods on rough days when I don't feel like exposing the Sako's to bad weather or lots of rock hopping.

    Trying to find information about this rifle. How is the mag. box attached to the receiver? Is the bolt handle separate from the bolt? (like the savage 110 etc) Anyone have hands on experience with this rifle? Thanks.

    Anybody had any experience with the new Marlin Xl7? I have seen a number of articles on it and they are all very positive. Great adjustable trigger. Accuracy hanging around 1 inch. good looking, light and price is right at just over 300.00. Comments anyone?

    My local shop hasn't been able to get any yet, though word is that the larger stores are starting to see them. Looks great to me.

    I'm seeing them on the internet selling for 286.00 for the black and 303.00 for the camo. One hell of a buy if it is all the writers say it is. I will own one in 25-06. Hope it does well enough so they expand the calibers into the short action range.
