Well I went to Academy Sports today to look at their rifle offerings and saw the Marlin XL7. It was a nice feeling gun with a "descent" stock. The bolt felt pretty good and it seems to have a good reoil pad. They had one in 25.06 and I have been wanting to try that caliber for a while, so, for $285 what the heck! It comes with a scope rail in the package, so that saved me a few dollars too. I compared it to the Remington 700 SPS they had in stock and the Marlin actually seemed smoother. Same goes for the Mossbergs they had in stock.
As soon as I get this gun scoped and out to the range I'll give a complete report. This will be a deer rifle for shots out to 250 yards or so. If it'll hold even a descent group I'll be pretty happy for the price. Hopefully I can get somewhat close to MOA.
