We shoult be getting the 25-06 x-bolt back from Browning today, after sending it to them a second time. The first time, they replaced the action and barrel. This time, we'll see.

Waiting to get one back from browning today. This is the second x-bolt that I have had experience with, both shot greater than 3 MOA with just about all loads.

We did get a couple hand loads to approach 2 MOA, but that was after several hundred rounds down the tube. I am certain this is not typical for these rifles, as the A-bolts I have shot have been generally 1.5 MOA or slightly better, and not picky.

My Tikkas: I have a 223, 270 WSM and a 25-06. They all shoot very well, and shoot well with multiple loads and bullet weights.

They are not as pretty, but pretty is as pretty does.
