[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1755358, member: 9308"] Since you want .28 Nosler (a great choice for your stated intentions, by the way) I would suggest you get the NOSLER M48 MOUNTAIN CARBON rifle. It is guaranteed by Nosler, with Nosler ammo, to shoot sub-MOA. It is pillar & glass-bedded. It is cerakoted. The action is blue-printed and the lugs are hand-lapped. It is fitted w/a Proof Research 24" "light" Sendero contour carbon fiber-wrapped, cut rifled barrel that is threaded to accept a suppressor or muzzle-brake already. It comes with a Timney trigger. It uses Remington 700 two-piece scope bases making it easy to mount up an optic.

They are well-designed, well built, and seem to actually be made by hunters for hunters and I'm sure you'd be just as happy with the X-Bolt Pro. The only thing that holds me back on 'pushing' it in this case is the cartridge itself (.28 Nosler) as there were some reports from folks on here indicating they were struggling to get their Brownings in .28 Nosler to shoot as well as expected.
