I bought an X-Bolt in 7mm wsm, liked it so well I bought a 7mm-08. Both are nice, well built, quality firearms that shoot sub moa with several different handloads. I had a BLR years ago and didn't really like it. These are in a whole different category. The trigger, the stock, the recoil pad, the overall fit and finish are very good. And they are on the lighter side at 6-8 and 6-5 lbs respectively. I consider these better and more accurate out of the box than a couple of Winnies and a couple of Remingtons I've purchased.
