I have a 2012 Remlin 308MX which has been outstanding--4 DRT deer to its credit so far. My rifle now has a 2-7X33MM Redfield Revolution scope mounted--switched from the 3-9X40MM model. The smaller scope improves the handling and balance of the rifle. Sure is a shame Marlin has decided to put production of these fine rifles on hold.

I have read some comments here about the difference between the 30-30 and 308 ME rounds at closer ranges. I have shot four deer with my 308MX between 40-70 yards and all were DRT. Much more shock to the body cavity than what I have ever seen in any animal that I have taken with the 30-30. I have read reports of Elk and Pronghorn taken at 200-300 yards with the 308MX and the results have been very good--pretty close to the 308 Win. At those 300 yard ranges--the 30-30 (even with the Hornady LEs) just can't compete. If you want a beanfield lever rifle--the 308MX and 338MX are the rifles to get.
