[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1746439, member: 36999"] Up until a couple months ago I would have wholeheartedly recommended them as my dad has 3 that are all smooth and all shoot well. However a couple months ago my dad got a X-Bolt Pro LR in 6.5 PRC and the thing has been anything but accurate. After wasting a box of Hammers trying to do load development I bought a box of factory ammo to find out it shot a 4+ inch 10 shot group. So I sent it back to the factory and after having them look it over I just got it back this week with a target showing a 0.55” group at 50 yards and saying it was within their 0.75” spec. My range trip today showed that it still shoots terrible with 2” plus 5 shot groups unless I put my suppressor on it at which point it suddenly becomes a sub 1/2 MOA rifle with the exact same ammo. So while most people including myself have had positive results just keep in mind that if the accuracy of that particular rifle is not up to your standards then you may be SOL. [/QUOTE]
