[QUOTE="j870sm, post: 322481, member: 13410"] man you could get thousands of opinions on this. What it comes down to is which rifle fits you the best. Handle them all and get the one that feels the best. I find nothing wrong with the Xbolt but I don't have one so can't recommend it. I am a Mod70 guy from way back but I have started leaning more toward having them built. All of that being said, I would go with another 7, possibly in 7WBY, 7 ultra or 7STW. I can't totally get on the 30 is better bandwagon. I am extremely partial to the 7STW and it does a very good job on elk way over yonder. And you can take the same gun put some 140's in it and it does a good job on antelope way over there. I think it really needs a longer barrel of no less than 28". Just my opinion though. [/QUOTE]
