[QUOTE="Nate_22, post: 1755320, member: 110981"] I run a 300WM X-Bolt Pro topped with a Nikon Black FX1000 4-16X50. My rifle was a first year model and the only complaint I had was the trigger was nothing like it was advertised. There could be any number of reasons but it was just Mine was inconsistent and heavy (by my standards) even set to the lightest pull it would allow. I dropped in a 3lb Timney Trigger (a very easy process) and the rifle is a tack driver. I bought just about every high end box of factory ammo on the shelf to see what the gun would like the best and it has consistently preferred Hornady Precision Hunter 200 grain ELD-X rounds, so for now, everyone gets one...or two if required. We have a pretty nice range to shoot what I would consider long range (a little over a mile) and far longer than I would shoot at an animal. My X-Bolt Pro is a 1000 yard gun all day long if I'm doing my job. I've hit steel out past 1000 but that isn't my point. My point is put some decent glass on top, if the trigger isn't doing you justice, salvation is about $160 away from Timney and short of that, everything has been done for you with the rifle. Just my opinion, I've hunted and carried it now for 2 seasons and I'm still happy. I hope my experience helps one way or another in your decision. Nate [/QUOTE]
