Stock up on ammo or brass if you make the trade, I’m thinking it’ll be like the 307 pretty soon if it’s not already. I have shot and worked on a few of the 308MXLRs, none fed really smoothly and I personally didn’t see any real advantage over the 30/30 for the type of hunting I do with Marlin lever rifles. I don’t like the way they handle when scoped and you can’t really take advantage of the extended range without optics.
But then again I don’t care for the mechanics or the ergonomics of the BLR either, so there is that.
Give me a nice Savage 99 in 300 Savage over either of the above.
