I also like the XLT camo a lot. It is a nice gun. I would really like to spend some time with one on the range, but can only invest in one rifle this summer. It is between the XLT and whatever I hear about the Knight KRB7 Rolling Block.

I shyed away from the NEF because the darn thing requires primer holders. Just another expense and something else to carry and make sure you have with you... like we need more to HAVE to have with us when we shoot MLs.

I heard one report of the XLT not shooting anything accurate with higher powder charges... over 90 grains. But I believe this was mainly shooting powerbelts and saboted bullets. The guy did not try lead conicals (350 grain+) with less charge. It sounded like he wanted to get the most possible and it was not accurate. But I think most rifles are not accurate with higher powder weights... most grains over 100 are a waste I hear anyway. But that's just what I hear.

If you get it, give a report. I'd be really curious how it shot a 350 grain Great Plains or a custom bullet in the 75-90 grain range.
