I believe after, as I picked it up in the last couple years. Price was very attractive on sale at Cabelas. The XLR has a smaller magazine and longer barrel than some other models. That helps it a little for hunting at distance. Stainless steel is nice too. I added the Wild West Guns big loop lever.HenryJ: I'm really jealous of your XLR! I really like that particjular finishin on the stock and foregrip. Was yours built before or after Remington took over?
I have not looked into the pros and cons of the Remington acquisition of Marlin. If this rifle is a good example, I have no problem with it.
