[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 3097332, member: 117774"] I bought an x bolt three years ago in 280m AI. Performance was so good that I bought 2 more. Accuracy was under 1 MOA for most loads and with a little tuning I got 1/2 MOA with Barnes and Hammer bullets. Found that dropping 100 FPS from max loads was generally the right recipe. Still getting 3100 with 145 LRX bullets and 3200+ with several Hammer bullets in the 130 to 140 Gr category. The clips are long and allow seating bullets out and I found that a spare carries 4 backups easily. the actions are smooth and the triggers easily adjustible. If the original triggers are not light enough for you, aftermarket springs are readily available for under $20. After a few hundred rounds, I did find the triggers to improve. Although not the lightest rifles available, they are not extremely heavy, something I look for in a rifle. Scope mounts are via 8 mounting screws instead of the usual 4, again something I prefer.
