A friend of mine asked if I knew anything about the Marlin XLR specifically in .308 since I don't I thought I'd ask here.

Any reviews, opinions, experience,etc with the Marlin XLR?

Thanks

Google Marlinowners dot com. There's some good stuff on there regarding the marlin 308 express. On that forum, the advice was to avoid the MR serial # ones and the 91 serial # ones, as there were problems with them. I am currently looking for a Marlin in 308 express and there was one that I will probably try to trade for at a gun shop not far from me. I think the otd price was $599, and it is a used rifle, but we'll see.

I had a guy at the range shooting one next to me. He actually let me put a few rounds through it as well. It was a very nice rifle and had the accuracy of a good bolt gun. I have wanted one ever since.

Ex bro in law had one and both he and my nephew enjoyed using it for deer and antelope. He ultimately traded it off for something bolt action something or other.
