Local sportsman's has a Marlin XS7 in 308. It has a 18 inch barrel and is threaded as well which is a plus. They want $299 for it. Good deal? Anyone have experience with these guns?
Drop some pics if you have them

I have an XL7 in .270

The trigger guard used a wood screw into the plastic and the blind mag kind of is a bummer

Shoots well enough. Same gun in short vs. long action

I had an XS7 in .308 10+ years ago but I think the barrel was longer than 18”. It was a great gun for the money and shot tight groups. I think I paid $350 from Buds for it. Sold it off for something else and eventually ended up with a Bergara HMR for a bolt gun.

I have a blued .243 and a stainless .308. They are good shooting basic hunting rifles. The adjustable trigger is decent. Savage style barrel nuts so replacing barrels is not to hard. Some Winchester 70 stocks fit.

I've spent a good deal of time behind a walnut stocked xl7 in .270. Nice rifle for the price, shoots well. A blend of design cues from multiple manufacturers with the trigger, bolt design, barrel nut, etc. My understanding is the plastic stocks weren't great but I've zero experience with one.
