Im seeing a small handful of brand new Marlin XLS7s in my area, most in the 329-339 price range
Anyone who likes the ease of barrel swapping on Savage 110 series rifles, should llike the Marlin X guns, as they use the same barrel shank diameter and thread specs, so any barrel that will fit a small diameter shank Savage specs action will fit on a Marlin X gun. I find the aesthetics of the Marlin X guns to be superior to those of the average Savage 110 series rifle. I've swapped a number of Savage, Stevens, and Savage specs barrels onto Marlin X actions.
I have enough X guns on hand to meet my needs, but I'd be sorely tempted to buy a new stainless X gun if I found one priced under $350.
