308mx!

It's my backup rifle which becomes my primary rifle more often than not due to its ease of carry in brush. Basically a lever 30-30 with the ballistics of .308 and good out to 300 yds. It's a great and fun shooter. Extremely popular with hog hunters so that is a great testament for this round.

If you do decide on a .308mx do a web search first. When they changed plants they had a couple of bad lots so you'll need to know which serial numbers to stay away from. I got one of the early lots and like I said its a great shooter. New lots are great too as they figured out the problem pretty fast.

If I had to decide between my .270 Mark V and the Marlin I'd keep the .308mx smile

Affordable too!
