[QUOTE="mobenzowner, post: 1365576, member: 94161"] Sorry you didn't like the Browning X-Bolt. I have 2 of them. The one in .308 was a bit hard to get where it needs to be, but with bullets seated long and finding the right node it is now very accurate. I usually like a mid-level, mid-velocity node but just a little under an inch is all it would shoot at that velocity. I kicked her up to a tad over 2700 fps with Sierra HPBT 165's and its right in the 1/2" area now. I was ready to get rid of the thing and it would have been my first and last Browning. The other Browning I have is the HC speed in 6.5. It shoots about everything MOA or better(factory loads) but does VLD Hunter reloads about 1/2". Also the trigger is adjustable on the x-bolts. I like them ok. In the end all that matters is you are happy with the Sako. They can be great rifles for sure. [/QUOTE]
