i finally get to talk about my x-bolt. i just bought one this past summer. i got the 30-06 stainless synthetic. the first time out i shot a nice doe at 100 yards. the rifle has a perfect weight. it is not too heavy and it is not too light. To go along with that, the recoil is minimal. the 60 degree bolt throw is great. it's nice not to have the bolt interfere with the scope.

the only thing i don't like is the plastic magazine. i am a little old school and think that any part of the gun that comes in contact with a bullet should be metal. however, i have shot well over 100 rounds out of the gun with no problems.

the rigle is expensive, but once you buy it you will never have to buy another one again.
