I finally found a rifle and I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one. It's a Marlin X7 in 308 (naturally), and I'll probably put it in a Boyd's laminated stock. does anyone have a rifle in a pepper laminated stock. If so, and if you can, please post a picture of it. I'm thinking this would make a good looking rifle. Thanks,
Scott

Pepper laminate? So boring! Spice it up a little.

Cruse over to the marlinowners forum...you'll find lost of photos of X7s sporting Boyd's laminates. I really like my X7 but as of yet I have not bought a Boyd's for it. I'm not sure I want to add the weight.

Jayhawker - one really nice feature of your stock is that: 1) it will never get lost in the grass 2) you'll always know which rifle in the camp rack is yours 3) compared to a few others that have had pix posted here it has a nice, classy conservative look.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Compared to toilet paper, yes.
If you can tie your shoes without being winded, they are light.

Darkker,
The rifle I am getting is an X7 in 308. How much weight did the laminated stock add? and what do you think of the X7 overall?

Thanks

Boyds list the classic at #2.8 (40oz) The factory stock on the Marlin is probably about 28oz
