All except the .280 had sticky actions & required wresting with to cycle.
I am still a fan of the "Legendary" 700 action, currently printing 1/2" @ 100yrds
with my .300 & factory ammo.
What I've come to terms with is that printing tight groups on the bench
& hunting in the bush are two completely different ball games.
I'm leaning towards an XBolt because it's practical. Plain & simple.
Mainly for the rotary box mag, which is way more convienent than floor hinge plate. The 60 degree bolt raise is a bonus.
All preference, some guys drive Chevy some guys drive Dodge. They both get you from A to B. The Elks not gonnA know the difference. It's all what works best for your own personal preference.

I have had an x-bolt in .300 win mag for a few years now. It is my go to gun (I have taken both deer and elk with it). People have listed all the great benefits already in this thread. My two favourites are the trigger and the 60 degree bolt. Very smooth to fire.
