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.
Are you going to get the pros at Corlanes to set you up with this rig? Should make an awesome rifle for 500 yard offhand shots at moose!
