So I went to Wholesale yesterday to see what all the fuss is about with these x-bolts. I looked at a blued synthetic in 300wsm, a very nice rifle, felt good in the hands, nice trigger, quiet safety on the tang. I also liked the 23" tube on the short mag, overall a very nice rifle. The only negative that I had, was that I thought the bolt handle felt too small(read dainty), compared to all my other rifles, but that was about it.

You need to handle both, and then make your decision, they are both superbly accurate rifles.

So in the T3 corner here is a group from mine just to even out the paperwork . Not quite as tight, but were not comparing apples to apples here. This is a 338 Win Mag, weighing in about 7lbs scoped, launching 210g Partitions at just under 3,000fps.
