I’d already have one (OK, two) if it wasn’t for that pussy-boy muzzle brake. I shouldn’t have to pay for something that is completely unnecessary and worthless on a hunting rifle.
What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

Did they ever fix the ejection issues with the xbolts on their short mag calibers? Last I read they were telling folks to use high mounts and live with the empties hitting the turrets, which is unacceptable in my opinion. As stated above, I have a 7mm wsm X-Bolt and it feeds and ejects flawlessly.

LGS also has a ss x-bolt in .308. I thought that felt similar to a model 7. Of of the guys behind the counter really likes brownings. He hunts quite a lot and has been on many hunts in a year using only the briefings. My brother has a SS x-bolt 30-06 that I've handled and shot. It's light, well balanced, and would put five 150gr Federal Blue Box into one ragged hole at 100. The price tag is a bit shocking, but I've not seen a rifle recently that shot that well right out of the gate. My father had a similar experience with a standard x-bolt in 7mm-08. These rifles have a reputation for being great shooters.

I stand corrected...A guy I have hunted with on occasion has an A-bolt in .325 WSM. The thing is a hammer at both ends

I bought an X-Bolt Stalker in 6.5CM first year Browning put them out. It consistently shoots MOA and less at 100 yards with Hornady 129gr American Whitetail and 143 ELD-X Precision Hunter. I adjusted the trigger down a little, scoped it and went shooting. At least 10 rounds of each ammo fired and all right where I wanted. Called it a day and been a happy hunter with the rifle ever since.
