[QUOTE="chucknbach, post: 1113153, member: 35487"] I too like the mag set ups. I have a Tikka lite in a 7mag. The bolt is smooth and trigger is good but it's too dang lite really, i have a hard time shooting it off hand without the scope nailing me in the nose from the sideways torque. Of course it probably doesn't help that I have a big nose. I also have a Browning X-bolt in .243. The X-bolt has a better trigger, shorter bolt throw, not as smooth bolt as the tikka but still smoother than most of the rest. The down fall to the X-bolt is the magazine. It can get burrs on the lips and cause feeding issues, touch it up with some sand paper and all is good. I have to full length size my brass, as just fireformed to the chamber and necked sized makes for too fat of rounds and feeding issues. Both are very accurate, I do prefer the X-bolt as it's just a finer rifle. [/QUOTE]
