You hit a lot of the issues I have with it and the benefits. Cleaning seems to be my biggest issue with the breach threads in the barrel and the bolt face is a bear to keep clean. It does seem rather front heavy and long but I can deal with that.
It is a good looking rifle and I love the trigger and the stock, and accuracy. I think I am going to keep mine but, if I decide to sell at least I got it for a good price. Maybe I wont get hurt too bad on a resell.

Come on guys knock it off.

josh...just josh
Now is the time to try out an X7, if weight and length are an issue with the Mountaineer. There are only a few left. The Mountaineer is a quality well built rifle; the same is true of the X7.

like a lot of us, I like to read and dream about the stories where some guy takes a shot at 250+ yards and drops the buck of his life... but in reality most of my hunting involves pushing through bush and trees and getting shots in the 50 yard range. Occasionally I will get a further shot say across a bean field, but in most cases I pass on the really far shots anyway. I think that an X7 would be perfect for me, even if I don't wind up selling the mountaineer I think that I am going to wind up with one of those someday anyway.
