I shot a new X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Speed in 6.5 PRC recently - the first time I have ever handled or shot an X-bolt.
I was impressed with the accuracy of 3 shots into 3/4" @ 100 yds with factory ammo, fairly lightweight, it handled really well, and the recoil was mild (even though I despise muzzle brakes). If I had a complaint it would be the trigger, adjusted as low as it would go it was still 4#. But the handling characteristics and balance of or it were amazing.
Will I ever buy one - not likely, but it has changed my perception of them.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
