[QUOTE="IDelkhunter, post: 1087549, member: 43404"] I won a 300 win mag x-bolt at an RMEF dinner a few years back. At first, I liked it for accuracy and weight. However, first hunting trip out the magazine fell out going through brush and I didn't notice until I was already back at the trailhead. Upon further inspection, the plastic detach clip relaeses with the slightest disturbance. Had to put a piece of tape across it to ensure it wouldn't fall out. Then, it struggled to feed consistently through the in-line feeding mag, resulting in a missed mule deer follow up shot. There is actually a screw on the mag that adjusts tension, indicating a design flaw in the mag originally. Finally, it has already shown throat erosion after only 200 rounds shooting 180 accubonds and mild 7828 loads. Conclusion, might be a good bench gun, but not durable enough for hunting elk in Idaho.
