The Marlin.
They have a .308 in stock and that could work for me, provided they are also parts stockists. I'll try ot have a look at it in the flesh.

That's the problem with the Marlin. If there aren't any locations to service it, you'll be completely out of luck if there's a problem with it.

Given the variable quality coming out of the X7 factories (Ilion New York and Mayfield Kentucky) since Remington took over, there's no good way to tell if yours would be a shooter or a lemon.

I love my XL7. But, in this case, I must say don't do it.
If you get a bad one, you'll be stuck with it.


I'd go with the CZ or the Zastava.
