Thing is.. You listed a price for rifle. Does that amount include optics? Most rifles don't come with iron sights anymore. And though the Marlin XL7 is light in synthetic stock, the recoil pad is very nice. My 15yr old (small) son doesn't flinch a bit with this one. So, for the Marlin you're looking at $300 out the door and another $300+ish for the scope and rings. I'm not knocking Brownings or Tikka's or Remingtons.. But for less than $700 for a package, they are well worth the money. If you've got that much for just the rifle, then I guess you'll by buying Japanese steel if you're looking new. Used, you'll have to research when some of those were built in europe or U.S.A.-Steve

Yep! shot placement is what it's all about, I never did buy into the "knock down power" theory of a big slug.
