[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 676405, member: 48043"] I've been playing the get the marlin xl7 to shoot game also. I floated the barrel and it came down to 1-1.25" at 100 yards. Good enough for a 270 loaded for mid-range, but not good for farther out. It shoots 1/2" groups with the plastic stock if it's cold(read zero or so out) but if it's at 80-90 degrees, it would barely hold 3 inches. I've heard some are pitching the stock and going boyds, but why if floating it will work and it doesn't cost anything but time. I don't use a dremel to cut a stock channel out, I use a dowel with 40 grit or so on it. It seems to be more even with a dowel. I wonder how it'll do this winter now that it's floated.... [/QUOTE]
