35 Remington

The bolt action rifle that Marlin is building (XL7 or some such name) has a barrel secured to the receiver in a manner similar to a Savage, using some sort of barrel nut.

These Marlins are available in a short action version, and one enterprising fellow had a barrel made for .35 Remington. Apparently it shoots like a house afire, and he can always swap out for the original, which was either a .243 or a .308, cannot recall which.

With a steel replacement trigger guard (original is plastic) it would be a quite nice rifle, at much less than the cost of a Remington Seven, even given the cost of the second barrel.

Just a thought......
