Marlin 308 MXLS
« on: April 14, 2010, 07:46:37 PM »
Just bought a Marlin 308 MXLS and took it to sight it in today. I REALLY like this. With the Hornady Leverevolution ammo it makes a lever gun a 3 to 400 yard deer rifle. Anybody had one long enough to tell us how the round performs on deer or elk size game? I can say it is accurate and recoil is very tame.

Perception is everything. For instance, a crowded elevator smells different to a midget.

I can tell you a .308 dia bullet performs well on deer sized game it don't matter what it comes out of. Specially if you can put it where it needs to go!

Live simple. Hunt Hard. Love Life.

I thank God everyday for my loving wife and all the fond memories of hunting with my Papa from a child until now.

Please take time to take a kid hunting, it will be a life long memory and blessing for both of you!

I just had my candy store put one back for me to pick up next weekend when they have their sale.  Lookin forward to playing with it, have a VX 1, 2-7X33 with the LR duplex to put on it.  I think that will make a good little set up.  She's gonna have to work hard to keep me from grabbin the 338 MXLR to take hunting on the plains.  DP
