[QUOTE="Mr Humble, post: 1023347, member: 17781"] Savage and Marlin XL. Both need stiffening up the stock with dowels and acraglass. The Marlin also need the nylon trigger guard replaced with a 700 ADL metal one (drop in) so you can torque the bedding screws correctly. Both should have barrels free floated. It would be fun to play with the new Marlin XLVH in 308 as it has a proper length (26") heavier bbl and yet still comes in at 7.75 pounds. I've owned two Xs. An XLC in 270 and XSC in 7mm08. Both were tack drivers. It's a shame they dropped the camo version. XLC 270 WCF with extra Savage bbl that was a defective chamber 22-250 (free). Redone to 22-06. Faster than a Swift and sub MOA 5 shooter.
