[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1474916, member: 54178"] As I said in another post I recently "got schooled" when I went to Sportsman's Warehouse and compared the actions and triggers of a a few SAKO 85 and a Browning X-Bolts. The X-Bolts were smoother and the triggers were [I]as good[/I] as the SAKOs! Plus the X-Bolt had a lug at 6 o'clock to pick up cartridges better where the SAKO 85 had the lug at 12 o'clock, giving up that advantage. Go figure. All other 3 lug bolts I've seen had 6 o'clock lugs. So I vote for the X-Bolt, less money on average by about $800. And Browning accuracy, by most reports, is as good as SAKO. I could easily go for a 6.5 CM in a Hell's Canyon rifle. And I'd sell my very accurate 6.5 CM Ruger Amer. predator to get it. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
