Thread: Inaccurate Marlin XS7 7-08....

I had one of these in .223 and it was not free floated from the factory. It shot amazingly well. I'm thinking something else is going on here. What does the crown look like?

Thanks for the reply. The crown is fine. Reading online (mostly US forums); the vast majority of the XL & XS models are super accurate for such a cheap rifle. But there seems to be a certain percentage that shoot rubbish and the sanding out of the stock has rectified the problem. There also seemed to be a problem with some of the earlier production units to come with slightly twisted fore-ends...
