[QUOTE="chav0_12, post: 2345758, member: 29765"] I’ve had a few different Brownings, only one X-Bolt. I got rid of it because there were just some things I didn’t like about it. Never spent much time with it but it was almost brand new still and would shoot about the same. My A-Bolts, however, shoot lights out. I’ve also added timney trigger springs to them and that seemed to help quite a bit. The trigger on the X-Bolt is crisp but the one I had was heavier than I liked and even adjusting it, I couldn’t get it where I wanted it. I know, for me anyway, trigger weight makes a huge difference. I would consider trying the JARD or Timney trigger in your X-Bolt. I would also then inspect the bedding and stock to ensure it’s properly free-floated and an adjustment in bedding can sometimes fix a ton of issues. Sometimes a chamber/throat/barrel doesn’t care too much for the amount of jump factory ammo gives it. Browning still makes great factory guns, lots of guys use them and love them, so if you continue to have issues with it it might not be a bad idea to get ahold of them to see what they say about it.
