Anyone know if Browning ever fixed the problem with their Duratouch coating turning sticky? I have a chance to pick up a new X-Bolt at what I think is a decent price, but don't want to deal with the coating breaking down after a couple of years.
I believe they corrected it by not selling them anymore. But I could be mistaken. That said, if you have one that goes south, just call browning, send it back and they'll replace it within a couple weeks and ship it back to you. Not that big of a deal. In fact, I think you can call them with the serial number and find out if it's covered under warranty. Might be worth the time spent if it's a solid deal on the rifle.
