My bro got the x-bolt in 270 WSM, in my search for a new rifle, it is going to be hard to choose against that one. He got the medallion, and it is pretty, nice trigger, the buttpad is very nice, and it shoots great. I don't know if I have heard anything bad about these rifles, but as mentioned before, you probably will be happy with whatever you decide on, I dont think there are many bad rifles that chamber 270 wsm.
