Looks like a sign of good things to come. Hope you bought alot of that ammo.

My x-bolt lr stalker 7rm shoots great for me -- best I've shot with it is a .284" group @100y-- it consistently prints groups @.650moa or less all the way to 700y so far

 

[Lenny Foffa]

Very Impressive!! Good luck with that rig buddy!!!

 

[Buzzsaw]

These are great rifles and very accurate. Trigger is only drawback if you like it light (1#)

 

[Bob Wright]

Very nice!

Nice rig! I've had quite a few Brownings over the years and have always had good results even tho they come with lawyer proof triggers.

Mcarbo springs help-- they don't get the pull super low but definitely reduce it and make it better

 

[doctorjj]

You can usually get them below 2lbs but I kinda like 2.5 for hunting rigs.

It's putting two rounds how it counts for a hunting rifle. Sweet looking rig. Lawrt, 2.5lbs would feel like a derringer trigger pull to me after running 1lbs TT diamonds the past year! LOL

I have a browning X-Bolt white gold medallion rifle with octagon stainless barrel and blonde maple stock (it's a looker) and also did the M-Carbo spring upgrade (now I learn Timney just started making an after market drop in trigger two weeks after M-Carbo install...Doh!). That thing shoots like a custom rifle. Every brand and bullet weight of factory ammo shot sub MOA and the 142 gr Nosler Accubond LR shot a bug hole five shot group. Next shot after the range was a dead cull buck--went down hard, DRT before the noise of the rifle shot dissipated. Very impressed with this cartridge and rifle. SAKO 85 used to be my "go-to" for "off the shelf" rifles but may give Browning a hard look going forward. BTW, they're about a grand cheaper than the 85.

Very good group. Sweet looking gun too.

There's 3 in that group.

This is not a brag on myself, but I really wasn't even trying to get a maximally right group. I just wanted to basically see how it shot and see if it liked this ammo, so to get 3 in somewhere around a half inch was just crazy. Especially being dead on target after one scope adjustment and being only the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds fired through it. It's really a brag on the gun and perhaps the ammo.
