[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 1621107, member: 106514"] Browning X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Long Range. You get a 26" pipe to get your full velocity that you can't get too many other places besides sloppy Remington and sloppy Savage. Yes, I said it. Sloppy Savage. You may get a good one now and again since they've been bought out, but quality control and customer service have gone down the tubes. And they don't honor their rebates, either. I've had a half dozen in the past year and 1 of them shot well. From 338 Federal to 6mm Creedmoor and everything in between. Anyways, the X-Bolt HC LR has a slightly heavier barrel than pencil thin standard, AND something you WON'T get anywhere else unless you build a custom is a 1:8 Twist! You can go as heavy as you want for LR shooting or heavy hitting bear stoppers. Weight is a manageable 7 1/2 lbs. And to muddy the water a little for you, you can have the same fun in same specs in a .28 Nosler! Street price on this model is between $1050 and $1150, so it's a little more, but darn well worth it. Haven't had an X-Bolt yet that wouldn't reach sub-1/2 MOA all the way up including 325 WSM! That was in thin hunter model. Browning honors their rebates 100%, too!
