The Marlin XS7 Rifle

70

By Wesman Todd Shaw

The Marlin XS7 Rifle.

For a mere $341.00 dollars, the Marlin XS7 is the most rifle that you can get for your money in a new rifle anywhere in the world.  It's been said that the position of the trigger and safety in relation to the grip seems to just custom fit the hands of all who fire this high value, low cost rifle.  This rifle is about utility, and not about frills, it has none to speak of.

All features are both cost conscious, and accuracy enhancing.  By and large, the consensus is that the trigger, set to break at just under three pounds, is that it's an outstanding one.  Though the stock is clearly high grade plastic, the entire gun is attractive; and tests as very accurate.  With three calibers to choose from, this rifle weighs in at between 6 1/4 pounds to 6 3/4 pounds.

The Marlin XS7

Testers’ Comments: Awesome price. This gun is an incredible value.

* Marlin made no missteps in the design of this gun.


* Great trigger.


* Lots of clothes-gripping edges on the rifle.


* The position of the trigger and safety in relationship to the grip seems to custom-fit my hand.


* The blade doesn’t come flush with the trigger when depressed.


* The blind magazine is easy to load.


* Good, clean lines on the stock.


Conclusion

In conclusion, I want one of these high quality, accurate, and affordable Marlin rifles.Though most might not think the plastic of this model Marlin hunting rifle is nearly as attractive as is the higher priced wooden ones, it will certainly weigh less, and not be subject to rot, should for some bizarre reason it be left in the weather; for these reasons, and the low price, this is a great utility rifle, and a rifle that you wouldn't be afraid to let your bratty nephew use should you take him hunting, etc.  If there is a known and comparable rifle for less, than please let me know about it, and give me a link to where I can read about it. Till then, happy hunting!

I think this is the first time I've of heard high grade plastic called attractive. I guess that makes it weigh less? I like wood (that did not sound right!) Good hub!

LOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, it would def weigh less, also, it couldn't rot from the weather. I don't own a rifle, but I have one around; I'm going to buy one, I also want a compound bow, a bikini model, a model T, and a bank account in Switzerland.

How about some boots from Wolverine? Did those fucks ever get hold of you? I sent them a link to your hub.

Hell no! I'm going to have to write about Danner boots now! And Rockies too! (or have I done that already? can't remember!)

I don't think that I have ever used a gun that was made from a high grade plastic before. It would be interesting to see how it compares and if it is as good/ better than metal.

Hey Joey Bennett, of course the barrel, etc is metal.

Hey Jed Fisher, I bet that it is! Most folks think of lever action rifles with the Marlin brand, I'd imagine.

This is a good discription of a very nice looking and economy priced Rifle. If that is what you are looking for this is the rifle you should consider. I have been a Marlin Man for over 50 years, and have shot all their products at one time or another...This is a good rifle for the price.

Thank you very much, ujoutdoors, you should take up the rifle hub niche. Gun articles draw high pay per click ads. I don't feel right about reviewing rifles I've no experience with. I'm not some common television false reality, or "lie."
