[QUOTE="mtank, post: 1518109, member: 87990"] I’ve been looking for a couple weeks at new guns to take some weight off but can’t decide. I went to Cabela’s & checked out the Tikka T3 as well as the x bolt. The tikka is light but as many complain about that stock feels cheap. Bell Carlson offers a stock but if you go that route I’d say you should get the Sako A7. I owned a x bolt a few years ago in a 25/06. I brought home meat every time it went to the woods but on paper it was awful. Tried all kinds of factory loads but never was happy with it. So that gun has me iffy on getting another x bolt. The x bolt pro as mentioned above appears to be bad *** though. My original game plan was to buy a weatherby mark v ultra lightweight 6.5 creed & top with a Leupold vx6 3x18x50. The scope is still a front runner but the gun choices are too many. [/QUOTE]
