With ballistics comparable to the 308 Win., this brand new cartridge is the highest performance round ever made for a traditional lever action rifle!
Last year, in partnership with Hornady, Marlin introduced the XLR Series of lever-action rifles, built to take full advantage of the improvements gained with Hornady’s LEVEREVOLUTIONTM spire-pointed flex tip ammunition.
Teaming up once more with Hornady, Marlin announces the debut of two new rifles chambered for the new Hornady 308 Marlin Express, a hot .30 caliber rimmed cartridge designed for maximum velocity, flat trajectory and smashing downrange energy.
The two models chambered for this round are: the blued 308MX with a 22” barrel and walnut stock, and the stainless steel 308MXLR with a 24” barrel and laminated stock.
Both will be available in Spring of 2007!
Available Spring 2007, this new model will be chambered for Hornady’s new ground-breaking 308 Marlin Express. It features a 24"e; stainless steel barrel, full pistol grip, and black-grey two-tone laminated stock characteristic of all XLR models. Also features the Marlin signature solid-top receiver with side-ejection, adjustable folding semi-buckhorn rear sight, ramp front sight. It is tapped for scope mount.
