Browning X-Bolt Hunter

Snipe4Food · 10-28-2009, 05:16 PM

I really want to own one of these rifles... I was wondering if any of u guys do own one and could tell me how it shoots. Im basically looking for a deadly accurate .270 and im really looking hard at Tikka and this browning x-bolt. From the research ive done allot of people seem to not like the tikkas (tho allot do as well) but ive really never heard anything negative about the x-bolt. If u guys could let me know your honest opinions on what i should get i would really be thankful.

I like the Tikka T3, and used to own one that I got rid of because it was very light and a 300 WSM, so it was a bit stiff in the recoil department, but I really liked the rifle otherwise. But from what I've seen in the X-Bolt, I'd buy it before I'd buy another Tikka. The X-Bolt is a nice rifle.

I ordered the stainless stalker in .338 WM.

Had and sold both. X-Bolt is better built and designed...IMO. Both shot fine. I'd take the Browning over the Tikka.

I have a Browning A Bolt and it is awesome so if the X Bolt is suppose to be an upgrade to the A Bolt, man, it must be one hell of a rifle!
