I would get a savage or a stevens before a 770. Actually that new marlin bolt action looks pretty good to me, if they ever make one left handed I'll buy one.

I have a Savage .243 I bought at Wal-Mart. My friends laughed at me...until they shot it. Tack driver. I came with a scope for under 400.00. If I were gonna buy a new rifle, I would do it again in a heart beat. You get what you pay for. But sometimes ya get a bit more.
Oh yea, the under $400.00 was with tax.

I'd say one of the Savages, as I'm partial to them but also check out the Weatherby Vanguard's. Not ure if they still ave the 399 deal or not.

From what I've heard about the Marlin, I think I'd go with that for a low priced rifle. Savage is always a good choice too. Weatherby Vanguard's are good but on the heavy side.

howa/vanguard or the tikka t3 will give you the very best accuracy for the price. howas are like 550 with there scoped option and a tikka t3 lite in 06 was 603$ out the door with a nice little 3-9x40 redfield scope.

Most of the ha8ers have never shot or owed one. I have the 710. Goes bang all the time moa or sub depending on me. It is not perfect, it is cheap and some areas it reflects it. I can not tell where you live on my phone but if your close, and you buy some ammo ill let you try it out.

Marlin XL7 is worth a look. I bought one for my son last year. Great gun for the money. Great.
