I have a Stainless/Walnut .280 Rem. X-bolt, through which I have pushed 180 rounds so far. It is a decent enough rifle, but I still prefer my Kimber 84L or Model 70s over it. In my view, it is in the same class as my Tikkas and a good accurate push feed platform. However, the pot metal bottom and bolt shroud is harder for me to take than the Tikka�s poly in the same applications. On the other hand, I really like being able to open the bolt with the safety on and the rotary mag feeding function of the X-bolt. I am not interested in purchasing another X-bolt, but I am definitely keeping the one that I have and plan on shooting it a lot. CP.
