Does anyone own or have shot one of the newer Mossberg 4x4 or Marlin XL bolt actions?
The prices are reasonable but is the quality there?

Been outta town or I might have answered earlier.

Friend bought a Mossberg for his son. Ordinary performance.

Another friend bought one of those Thompson Center bolt in 270. WOW! I showed him how to break it in and after that - MOA or less. Nice performance and an adjustable trigger. Now the but ...but the bolt is just a pin with a shroud over it to make it look like a solid bolt. Strange to me but it did work.

My take on quality construction is it's NOT. It feels good and sure shoots well.

New Marlin -big thumbs up. Mossbergs, thumbs sideways at best.

Going with a Tikka T3 lite for my son if the FFL will give it to him, maybe hes a good ole boy.
Thompson Center Venture is guaranteed 100 yard accuracy like the Tikka.
Never found a new Marlin or Mossberg to handle after I picked up the Tikka.
