GunBlast has written a review:
I like accurate rifles. I especially like accurate rifles that are a real bargain in today’s market. I usually do not list prices in a review, as our articles stay up on Gunblast in the Archive section forever, and we are constantly getting new readers who find our site. In this case, however, I will make an exception, as this new XL7 carries a list price, as of this writing, of only $326 US. This price, combined with the accuracy, comfort, and handling of the rifle, along with that excellent trigger, makes this new Marlin XL7 one of the best bargains available in a quality rifle. In addition to that, it is made in the United States by American skilled workers. Considering reliability, accuracy, and price, the Marlin XL7 is hard to beat, and I highly recommend it.

My first firearm was given to me 41 years ago by my father at the age of twelve. It was a Marlin Glenfield bolt action model 25 in 22 caliber. I used it everyday and fired thousands of rounds through it. I have purchased many firearms since but I Still love using the old 22.
-- Last year I decided to purchase the XL7 in 308 caliber. LOVE IT!
I put a Redfield accu range scope 3x9x50 on it and it's dead on out to 400 yards. I found the Winchester power max (in the red box with the deer skull on it) in 150 grain PHP to work the best in this rifle. Easily groups at 1.5 inches at 400 yards.
For the money, WOW! can't beat it.
