I looked at the Marlin XS7 today and thought it was a nice looking rifle although I'm having a hard time with the 2 position safety that does not lock the bolt. For a hundred dollars more, I'm thinking of maybe the Weatherby Vanguard which has the hinged floorplate, locking bolt, and a 1.5 MOA guaranteed. I would still like the Stevens 200 except the rifle twist. Thanks for replies.
