i was quoted a price of 438.00 for a marlin XL7 laminated stock by the local WAL-MART-this was special order which required 1/2 down and balance on delivery-i have not ordered it as of yet-my local gun shops did not have any wood stocked models at all-i am still pondering whether to get another 30-06-these rifles will shoot! my XL7C 270 is out of the box stock and shoots as good or better than any other rifle i own!
