Sorry , no pictures yet... New Marlin

[Chuck 100 yd]

It did not follow me home, I held on tight!!

My new Marlin .338MXLR came in yesterday.
I had my dealer looking for several months now.
Very nice fit and finish and smooth action. Smoother than the last few new marlins I have bought. Now to get it fitted with a scope.
He only had one box of Hornady 200 gr ammo at $28.00.
Will have it ready long before hunting season.

Of all the new calibre Marlins, that's the one that would interest me the most....

Same here.. The local Gander Mtn. has had one of the new .308 XLRs but just doesn't intreset me as much.

Looking forward to hearing how it shoots!!!

Pokey, Terry at L&L got it for me. I was in no rush to get one. and like to support my local dealer/friend/fellow club member.

Pete, I could have had one months ago. (see above)

PS After owning a .308MX for a while, just seeing and hefting a .338MX cartridge is impressive. The base is larger and just feels like a lot more cartridge in the hand.

Congrats! My local place has one on the rack that I've been fondling. Price seems a bit steep though. $775 or something near that.
