[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1527227, member: 54178"] cohunt, My new [I]Browning X-Bolt Pro[/I] has a fluted "pencil barrel" to save weight (it's 6 lbs. 1 oz.) and in my very first zeroing shots it amazed me.[I] As mentioned above it is factory glass bedded in its carbon fiber stock but fully free floated.[/I] After bore sighting at 50 yards four shots put me on the X ring. THEN I moved to 100 yards and the next 3 shots were a bit less than 1/2 MOA in the X ring. I quit shooting there and went to our steel silhouette range where I hit 14 of 15 shots from 212 years to 547 yards. I missed one shot on a 400+ yard narrow gong. The Warne Pic rail and Burris rings come off soon and I'll put burnt bronze Cerakote Talley rings on. Their color match the Cerakote on the rifle. Gives it a more custom look. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
