Thanks for the response streetglide, although being a Road King guy myself I have to take your opinions with a grain of salt. ;)
Let's say you were buying a new long distance shooter elk rifle. Browning doesn't make the X-bolt in 300 RUM. Is there an X-Bolt caliber that you think you would rather have than your Model 70? Assuming the same caliber, would you prefer the Model 70 or the X-Bolt? |

Boy, you cant make it easy can you? What should I expect from a FLHR rider.
Right now I am very close to making a deal on a lightly used A-bolt in .338. The only leftie A-Bolts I've seen are all the Stainless Stalker model, and they all have the BOSS. Kind of inconsistent with my classic "no frills" motorcycle choice, but I do think it's a rifle that will make an outstanding elk rifle for Utah and Colorado. |
X Bolt
According to Brownings web site the Hunter,Medalion and Micro are available in left hand. These are all wood stocked guns. I have had A Bolts,shot others and currently have a X Bolt in 270 Win. For me personally the X Bolt is the absolute winner. Both good guns but you have to go with what feels best to you not what someone else likes.

Have you looked on CDNN's website?

Streetglide I hadn't checked the CDNN site. Thanks for that tip. I don't find any lefty X-Bolts there though. :( Seems that hunting the lefty x-bolt is as challenging as wapiti himself! |
Keep looking, also look at gunsamerica.com, gunbroker.com, and auctionarms.com.

I'm pretty sure the A-bolt stainless/synthetic only come with the boss, which I would not want personally.
So if you want a stainless-synthetic without the boss that only leaves the x-bolt... |
I have not been happy with my x-bolt.
You can read a pretty good review that reflects my experience at: http://ireviewgear.com/misc/browning...posite-stalker |

I have a left handed A-bolt micro hunter in .270wsm that I like so much that when I saw one in .308 I grabbed it right away. I was at the range and shot three rounds w/ the .270wsm at 175 yards,the group was the size of a quarter(using 140 gr. fed./
nosler accubonds) and I am not that good of a shot, so I'm sure someone else could have closed that spread even smaller. |
