There is also another thread on MO that doesn't get as much attention where a bunch of people reported they never had a problem with their Marlin Express from day one and love their 308 / 338.
I am one of those people. Never had a problem with my 308MX.
I am in the same boat here. I have several new 308 and 338 MX's and only one time did my first 308MX give me a feeding issue. Bolt guns don't do it for me at this point but lever guns do. I still have several bolt guns and a Ruger #1 but by and large I enjoy lever guns the most!
