[QUOTE="trailrider121, post: 1718063, member: 24966"] Yeah that's what I meant to say. The pressure points sometimes work, but I find it being free floated is more consistent. You can use aluminum angle iron instead of carbon arrow shafts. It helps with the flexing when using a bipod. Barrels to use are Savage small shank but you may need to shave .008-012" off the breech face. You can check this by placing the bolt on top of the barrel breech with a go gauge or new piece of brass. You'll need .008- .012" clearance or your going to have problems. Now with that said you can change the bolt face to a magnum bolt face using a Rem 783 magnum bolt head. Super easy and now you have a magnum caliber. you will need to rework the mag box to feed or modify a savage stagger feed mag box to fit. So many options for the Marlin. I'm using Winchester model 70 B&C stocks with bottom metal with my XL7's. If you want to see some pictures google: marlin xl7 model 70 stock trailrider121 I have built 243, 270, 30-06, 7-08, 7mm saum, 260 rem, and 7mag [/QUOTE]
