desertdog Report post Posted August 8, 2009 Does anyone have one of the new Marlin bold action rifles. I looked at one in Sportsman's the other day and they look like a really well built little gun. Bass Pro is selling them for $279.99 and Cabelas and Sportsman's is selling them for $299.99. If they shoot well I think it might be a great first deer rifle for my kids.

Coues&Coyotes Report post Posted August 9, 2009 My son just picked up an X7 in 30-06 and he loves it. Sighted it in a few days ago and it shoots factory ammo very well (180 gr Winchester Silvertips). He is going to be using his for rifle Elk this year. Looks like they took some ideas from Savage with the Accutrigger and such. We look forward to try differnt ammo later on but are going to stick with the 180 gr because it is shooting them so well. Personally I don't think you will be dispointed. Good luck.
