Would you trust a bad review... or good for that matter... from someone without experience with the particular item?

I have the X-bolt Stainless Stalker and I really like it. It's fairly light weight, the stock fits me well and I haven't found a load that it doesn't like. I traded a Winchester Extreme Weather for it because I hated the stock on the Winchester and I didn't want to spend the money to re-stock it.
Oh, and welcome to the Campfire Sylvaneous.

Outside of some FTE WSMs, I haven't heard of any problems with the X-bolt. I have heard people postulate that they might have problems but most reviews are very positive. The trigger on mine is adjusted all the way down and is just a touch heavier than I like but it has NO creep. I think that my perception of its weight might be that it doesn't move at all until it breaks.

There's a horror story out there about every product that has been around long enough but on average Toyota and Miroku make excellent products. Miroku. Aren't these the same guys that took a 1885 and made it look like a zoot suit?

Been my experience with my XB in -06 too. It shoots pretty much anything I feed it into MOA or better groups.

I'm biased towards a 90 degree bolt throw. Of all the rifles that were less, the Weatherby Mark V felt fine and the X and Abolts were the worst. The 280 Xbolt went down the road for this reason after a very short tenure in my safe.
And to drop a squirt of piss in the truck argument, I've owned a truck from every manufacturer at one time or another except Nissan and Honda(if that thing they sell qualifies). I loved them all, but the one with the least hassle and the most where it matters is the Tundra sitting in my driveway, which has SHAMED all the others.

Aren't these the same guys that took a 1885 and made it look like a zoot suit? Some of the B78s and 1885s were built to be modern hunting rifles suitable for scope use and were stocked accordingly. Some were built as traditional pieces for use with irons and actually came with good sights, a rarity these days, crescent buttplates and chambered for old-timey rounds like .38/55, .30/40, .405, and .45/70. They also made a number of BPCR models with Badger barrels and target sights that are as close to being an out-of-the-box competetive rifle as it gets, and at an amazing price. These last are in great demand. None of those were marketed as a reproduction of anything in particular, just excellent single-shot rifles made with modern materials and strong, well finished, and accurate.
