I've been looking at the new Marlin bolt action rifle, the xl7. The gun has a composite stock available in black or realtree camo. I have been able to find the black but not the camo. does anyone know anything about this? Thanks

Called customer service @ Marlin and was told that the rifle got more attention than was expected and sales were a lot greater than expected. I wanted a 25 06 in the XL7, said get name on waiting list. Should loosen up after first of year.

oh yea ! the 25-06. the oldest caliber of the future. ive shot everything from a groundhog up to a turkey, deer, wild hog. and i wouldnt be afraid to use it on mule deer or sheep. its the most versatile caliber ever.
