[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1142486, member: 59915"] It's not a popular rifle that I hear talked about here, but I have two Marlin XS7's. One in 243 cost me $319. The other in 7mm-08 cost me $359 about 2 years later. Both rifles all I did was freefloat the barrels and hand load for them and they both shoot 1/2 MOA to 500 yards. The 7mm will go a little farther. The 243 maxes in bullet weight at around 95 grains with its 1:10 twist which gets harder to hold 1/2 MOA past 500 with the ever changing winds here, but I would not hesitate to shoot to 750 at a coyote with it. They are also made in the same fashion as a savage and with a very light shave of the tenon length, savage prefit barrels will spin right on. Using savage wrenches and everything. The 7mm-08 has a 1:9.5 twist [/QUOTE]
