Need a replacement bolt for my XL7, in .270 Win.
Either a 270 or 30-06 will do.

Contact me ([email protected]) if you have either one, or know where to get one.
Local gun shop said they were not available new.

Take it to a gunsmith and have the head space set if a different bolt is installed...things can go bad in a hurry

After some research I found that the Remington 783 uses the same Bolt head as the Marlin X7.
Since I just happen to also have a 783 in 7mm Rem Mag, I did a quick check, and they look the same, so I tried it in the XL7, slid right in, closed, and the bolt handle even lined up.

I know the head is wrong for a 270, but it does confirm the general function.

I just picked up a bolt for a 270/30-06 out of a 783.

I also know about head spacing, but good idea to warn people.
