I'm hunting down a Marlin XS7 in 7mm-08. The only one I can get into my local shop is the package rifle with the scope. It's about $50 more then the standard rifle.
All the Marlin website says is 3x9 scope. My guess is these package scopes are complete junk. My plan was to put a $200 Nikon buckmaster or maybe a VX1 on it - nothing super fancy - my scope budget right now is $200.
Anyone know what "brand" or who makes the Marlin scopes?
Should I look further for a nonpackage gun to save the $50, or just shoot the stupid thing? I'll hunt a couple times a year here in California - deer and hog.
Thanks,
Jeff
