[QUOTE="scotsgun, post: 574004, member: 13278"] I own examples of both rifles; a Model 70 (extreme weather stainless in 243win and X-bolt (composite stalker) in 7mm-08. Normally i'd have walked right on by the model 70 as they are known in Europe to have had a ropey history with varying quality control issues but recently they seem to have really up'd their game. The browning X-Bolt is a fine rifle and will serve you well. It is every bit as accurate as the Win70 but if intending to keep over an extended period of time, getting to know the rifle and perhaps customise it to your tastes and body shape exactly then i'd opt for the Winchester. There's just so much more support, parts, triggers and stocks. So much more variety at less cost. [/QUOTE]
