Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Why the lack of love for Browning X-Bolts?

One of the things I like about the X-Bolts if the fact that the Synthetic stock models come with a very good stiff stock. Other than the "get sticky" Dura-touch coating, they are great stocks. I stripped the sticky crap off of mine and did sponge camo paint jobs on them. when I'm doing driven game hunts, I like using a red dot (Ultra-Dot), on the 30-06. It weighs 7 pounds, 2 ounces as pictured. The ,223 has a Leipold FX-2 6x36 and it weighs 7 pounds 1/2 ounce. RJ
