After several stores and handling a Sauer, Browning, Ruger, and Tikka I ended up with the X-Bolt HC with the Recoil Hawg brake in 6.5 Creedmoor. It was a tossup with the Tikka. The Tikka bolt was slightly smoother and the trigger was slightly better, but I felt like I was reaching pretty hard for the trigger (small hands 🙄). The Ruger American felt pretty rough around the edges and it felt fairly barrel heavy on the front end. The Sauer I felt like I had to crawl up on the thing to get comfortable.
