[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2219738, member: 94491"] It's probably going to be hit or miss on factory rifles. The Xbolt feels more refined/smooth than the xpr to me--- people say Tikka's are really smooth too, but the 1:11 twist on a Tikka has always put me off (though I saw they were slowly comming out with some in 1:10) Pretty sure most new factory rifles will get you 1moa or better if you find the right ammo combo. I'm just not overly impressed with how the xpr feels . I know some people say they had issues with some of the xbolts too though... sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't. I'm not done with my xpr, it might end up being a good rifle-- it just hasn't hit me yet that it's any better than any other factory rifle in its category --- my ultimate plan is to shorten it to 20", since they don't sell the SR model in 300wsm yet, and I feel the stealth is too short at 16.5" for a wsm. I'm not willing to spend the $ to shorten/thread it yet until I get more time with it and rounds down the tube. I feel it's not a "fast" barrel either, as it seems to be on the lower end of speed for the barrel length-- the bore did look pretty smooth for a factory barrel through the scope [/QUOTE]
