308 Marlin Express

With ballistics comparable to the 308 Win., this cartridge is the highest performance round ever made for a traditional lever action rifle!

In 2006, Marlin introduced the XLR Series of lever-action rifles, built to take full advantage of the improvements gained with Hornady's LEVEREVOLUTION™ spire-pointed flex tip ammunition.

Teaming up once more with Hornady, Marlin upped the ante last year with two rifles chambered for the new Hornady 308 Marlin Express, a hot .30 caliber rimmed cartridge designed for maximum velocity, flat trajectory and smashing downrange energy.

The two models chambered for this round are: the blued 308MX with a 22" barrel and walnut stock, and the stainless steel 308MXLR with a 24" barrel and laminated stock.
