Talked to local dealer yesterday and he said that all changes where merely cosmetic. Still waiting to see one in person but from what i have heard it may be mid to late march.

Whats the difference between the A-bolt and the X-bolt? I've always bought Remington's but I want to get the 325WSM.

I'd think twice about that .325 WSM. The jury is still out so it seems.
The .300 WSM is a certain success.
I do like the .325, bigger bullets etc.....I have a .340 Wby for that reason, over my .300 win mag., considering getting a .300 wsm in place of my win mag as a lightweight elk setup or just lightweight setup for some bigger stuff.
I justlooked up the price of the 325 wsm and my God. I was kind of liking them till I found out they're $60 to $90 bucks a box. I'll stick to my $14 a box .270's.
I think there are more than just cosmetic (stock) changes. I believe they will have arotary magazine to imprve feeding and a new trigger that is supposed to be much better than the old A-bolt trigger. I would hope they would add the new triggers to their whole line but I don't know.
It has a different magazine,stock style, an improved trigger and a 3 position safety. It also has a unique scope base system. If it is like most Abolts it will shoot lights out.

I have a Browning in a .325 short mag, and have gone buffalo hunting twice; it has put both of them down with one shot each.
Am going hog hunting down in Texas this spring and once again I will be bringing the .325. It is a very accurate gun for throwing such a large bullet. The .325 is advertised as flying faster than the .300 short mag and hitting harder (more energy) than a .338 mag. I would not trade my .325 for any other caliber. The .325 will crush anything in North America.
