Not Bad for a $275 Rifle - 09/23/15
Finally got to go shoot some groups with my new Marlin XS7 7mm-08. Got it a few weeks ago when Whittaker Guns had them on clearance. I bedded and floated it like all my rifles and painted the stock. Added some Talleys and a Nikon Monarch UCC 3-9x40.
This was my final group today. I know it's only 3 shots, not 5,10,15, whatever. Also got to load some more and see if I can repeat it, but it looks promising.
Sierra 140gr ProHunter, 49gr IMR4350, COAL 2.825, 2815fps avg. Easy extraction, primers look fine, and no other pressure signs.
For the life of me I can't understand why these rifles got discontinued and the Rem 783 is still being produced!!
