Well I'm 99% sure it's the X-bolt for me. After much thought and deliberation, it is exactly what you said above that has me going for it (fit / handling).
Just one question (newbie here)... what does hand lap mean?
BTW I have heard that the action gets smoother on the X-bolt after awhile. We will see.
