[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 2877758, member: 59915"] I picked up a 243 for myself, a 7mm-08 for dad (which is mine now), and this 30-06 I got on a trade. All are fantastic shooters for what they costs new. Very smooth bolts with a floating head. The triggers are an accutrigger knock off that’s just as good. I’ve been told that these will even fit a savage prefit drop in barrel but I haven’t tried it yet. The 243 I put the most time into and it’ll hold 3” all day 500 yards with 95 grain Nosler Ballistic tips. There’s a pic of it with a buck a few posts up where I replied about the cheek riser. I’ll probably do some work to the 7mm next. I’ll add also that MOST cheap rifles have a garbage Tupperware stock. These marlins the stock is lightweight but still VERY stout. It’s already pillar bedded but I bed the tang and recoil lug and skim bed the sides of the action so I get a tight fit and I’ll free float the barrel because they come with a designed touch point at the tip of the forearm and then these things will flat shoot.
