[QUOTE="bs911, post: 471637, member: 27179"] I have an x-bolt composite stalker in .300 WSM. I do like the rifle a lot. The composite stock is very nice, light, and has a superb feel even in the wet and cold. The trigger is very nice for my taste, and backs down to about 3.5 pounds, which may be a tad strong if you like it light. More discerning trigger fingers may feel otherwise, but my finger hasn't really gained a ton of experience on the finer triggers out there. I don't think the action is world class by any means... but might be a victim of being built to reduce weight rather than complete, zero tolerance accuracy. I have only began really getting it dialed in and I'd say it can shoot 1 MOA on my particular handloads with 150gr Nosler BTs in the 3050 fps range. This year I have hopes of getting more of 1/2 to 3/4 moa and my long term opinion of the gun just might hinge on that. I'm sort of on the opposite side of the spectrum though as I'm more of one who likes to tinker and upgrade things so if I were to do it again, I'd probably buy a Remington 700 that actually has an aftermarket. There is very little out there for Brownings. But if you want a gun that is 1 moa accurate, out of the box ready deer rifle to medium distances it certainly fits the bill. For that purpose I am certainly pleased with it. When my "offseason" activities kick in punching targets at over 500... we'll see. [/QUOTE]
