JD, I just purchased a Marlin XL7S in .25-06 Remington. It has a black composite stock and a stainless steel barrel and bolt. I mounted a silver Weaver 2.8-10X44mm scope that has the aspherical ground lenses. It's optics are as clear as a bell! To the scope I added a set of Butler Creek...

RR, Is Retumbo a slower burning powder? I do not have any knowledge about this product yet. I breifly looked it up on the Hodgdon website and it says its a magnum powder expressly designed for "really large overbored cartridges such as the 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum, 300 Remington Ultra Magnum...

JD, I just ordered the RG! Thanks again for the great advice.
