[QUOTE="Prieto9000, post: 1318050, member: 24952"] I´ve owned 3 Stainless stalker X-Bolts. 2 7mm rem mag and a .243 win. All of them were great shooters. I had awesome results using hornady InterBond bullets with sub-moa groups. BUT I had several issues with all of them: 1.- The strings on one of the rear scope mount holes stripped. It all happened to the same hole on all 3 rifles. I used the warne torque wrench for all the screws which i believe is set @ 20 in/lb. 2.- The "featherweight" trigger is awful. The lowest you can go is around 3.5 lb which is super heavy for me. I set all my triggers @ ¾ lb. 3.- The duratouch finish on the stocks is not that rugged. It scratches very easy and looks horrible when that happens. If you´re planning on going into heavy timber you´re gonna end up with a very damaged stock. [/QUOTE]
