If you can afford a X-Bolt you can afford to have your smith do a basic trigger job on it (proud owner of a Stainless Stalker in .338 Win Mag).

I always have my smith do a trigger job and hand lap the barrel on all my rifles before I run the first round down the tube.

All my rifles shoot under 1" MOA after I break-in the barrel at the range (+/- 100-150 rounds); .17 HMR to .338 Win Mag.

Then they are "ready" to hunt with...............


I wish all my rifles were built like the X-Bolt !!!
