I had an xl7 and fully agree. I remember going to a private range during “sight in days” where public could pay a fee to use the just before gun season right after I had worked up some loads for the gun. I shot a 4 shot group at 200 yards. One of the old crusty members who was helping with the event went and retrieved the target as I asked if I could get it for a closer look. Upon bringing it back, he had suddenly turned friendly and wanted to know what gun I was shooting. Group measured .65” for 4 shots at 200yards. I showed him the $250 xl7 in 25-06 and he was in disbelief. Those guns were very accurate and felt good to carry. Of course I sold it a while later…🙄
