[QUOTE="huffmanite, post: 676420, member: 26864"] Bought one of the Marlin XL7 25-06 when it first appeared in Houston area and was satisfied how well it shot right out of the box. So, when the Marlin X7 HV .308 showed up at place I had bought the 25-06, bought one of them. Having a heavy barrel and being a .308, expected it to shoot more accurately than the 25-06 Marlin. It didn't. But, after a lot of rounds down barrel trying different reloads, lapping last two inches of bore (gunsmith bore scoped it, recommended removing end of barrel due to some roughly cut rifleing there) and replacing the factory stock with one I made, now can consistently shoot under a 1" 100yd 4 shot group with the rifle.
