[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 2966195, member: 109378"] I have a Browning A-Bolt Micor Medallion both my boys grew up shooting in 7mm-08 and I recently picked up a X-Bolt white gold medallion with maple stock and octagon stainless barrel...just because it was pretty and chambered in 6.5 PRC. Triggers on both sucked so I replaced their sear springs with after factory sear springs, then I found out two weeks later Timney just came out with after-market triggers. Might have to upgrade, but for now they both break pretty clean at about 2.85 Lbs. I zeroed the 6.5 just picked up off the shelf with Hornady 143 ELD-X factory ammo, then proceeded to try six other brands of factory ammo to save time on bullet selection for reloading. The second group I shot was 5 shots with these Winchester rounds loaded with 142 gr Nosler Accubond LR. I stopped after this and called it good. I have several VERY high-end expensive rifles, but none are way and above either of my off the shelf Brownings. [/QUOTE]
