[QUOTE="manitou, post: 1999381, member: 105280"] I have had quite a few different makes in my 47 years of big game hunting (started very young). We are all built different and have our personal preferences. After decades of looking for that centerfire "nirvana", the X-bolts are my favorite. I have owned several and none went away for performance reasons. A couple were too pretty, one was for wife and she is very recoil sensitive. The two I have now will get passed to my kids when I am gone. Both are sub 1/2" shooters... consistently. Both are normal, run-of the mill X-Bolts that I bedded (just to say they are bedded), added a $13.00 MCarbo trigger spring, and duracoated the stocks. They are light, accurate, have a great recoil pad, and most importantly, they fit me well. I also like the 70 degree bolt throw and the ability to unload with the safety on. The tang safety is a plus for me too. We are lucky in this age whereas we have several good choices for great, accurate factory rifles. [/QUOTE]
