What are the differences if there are any? Besides the obvious looks and higher gloss finish on the Deluxe. Is the action or trigger any better on a Deluxe? The reason I ask is I recently went into the local sporting goods store to look at a sporter they had one is stock but the sales man was more interested in selling me an Xbolt, he made mention that the trigger was better on an xbolt and if I was looking at a weatherby I he would more recommend the deluxe but he didn’t say why that was.

So does anyone really know what the real mechanical differences are between the Sporter and Deluxe?
