Here's a chance to own a rare and very well built Marlin Rifle. The MR-7 was built from 1996-1999 and is a JM stamped Bolt Action that features some of the best options found on classic bolt action rifles from Winchester, Remington and Mauser. Below is information on this classic.
The Marlin MR-7 was only made from 1996-1999. It was only chambered in .25-06, .270, .280, and .30-06. It features a 3-position safety, a bolt face encircled by three rings of 4140 steel, a shrouded striker and high-visibility cocking indicator. It has an adjustable 3-6 lb trigger, A forged, machined and heat-treated receiver and an extra-strong bolt lockup. The Mr-7 has a hinged floorplate with a removable yet securely mounted 4-shot box magazine (The Mr-7B does not). It has a 22" barrel with 6-groove precision rifling and a recessed muzzle. It also has a classically configured, cut-checkered American walnut stock. The later (1999) MR-7B was made with birch wood for the stock and the MR-7B didn't use a floorplate. It was a few $ cheaper and in 1999 the MR-7B was only available in .270 and .30-06 calibers (I haven't came across any information for the MR-7B in 1996,1997, or 1998.)
The Ring of steel around the cartridge and the strong locking lug bolt-face was mimicked off of the Remington 700.
The wing-style safety was mimicked from the Winchester Model 70.
The "Dogleg" Bolt handle mimicked the Ruger 77
