I just came home from my local Gun Store, bought ammo for going out to the range. While there I noticed they are selling ALL calibers of the marlin X7 for $199.
Should I buy one?
Which caliber would be the best all-around hunting rifle? .308?
i,m looking for a 70388 now. for $199.00 I would buy me a couple. We hunt swamp land and the woods. All short range shooting. It would definitely be accurate enough for my type of hunting. Go get you one.
The Winchester 150 gr. Power Point works really well for hunting.
What is the best ammunition for the x7 in a .308 caliber?
