Somebody please name me one company who has flat out goat-fuuked more bolt action design particulars than Browning. Nobody has done it better, or for longer.
The best thing going for the X-Bolt is that it isn't an A-Bort......
Absolutely!
I have a bunch of Browning guns: the BPS is the shotgun I tell every leftie to buy, the 22 pistol line is tough and I own a couple, the Clitoris are good shotguns for the money, and the A-Bort likely has
John spinning in his grave!
I have personally witnessed more failures in the field With A-Borts than all other makes and models combined. Several 24hour members were with me when their A-Bort triggers became locked up and useless.
At least the X is not an A, but that is scant solace if you count the number of parts in the bolt...
