@Orion2000, I have an A-Bolt medallion 30-06 I bought a long time ago. It was my first centerfire rifle and still take it on every opening day hunt. I wanted my son to have something similar so I bought him the X-bolt medallion in 30-06. He's grown up shooting a LH T-bolt. I really like the x-bolt, t-bolt, and a-bolt. Even bought a 12ga BPS about 6 yrs ago and I've always been pleased with Brownings. All that being said, my Tikka is the best shooting hunting rifle I have. T3x Lite stainless in 7RM. Incredibly accurate which makes shooting lots of fun.
Appreciate the feedback. I handled one of the Browning X-Bolt 2018 Shot Show Specials at Whittaker's in 2019. LH Long Range, laminated stock, 6.5 CM, 1:7" twist. Picked it up three different times while browsing around the store. Liked the feel of it., But did not pull the trigger. Have only seen one since then.
Have owned one LH Tikka. 1:8" twist .223. Nice rifle. Could not warm up to the feel, nor the magazine bump sticking out the bottom of the receiver....
