Simon123 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 We have one, and we love it. The gun is light and very comfortable. They are also very competitive in the price range, we paid £650 for a brand new gun from a local RFD We rathered it than a Tikka T3 (personal opinion) therefore would highly recomend to anyone looking at purchasing a C/F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) I got one in .243 flavour an well pleased with it for first center fire. Did fancy a Tikka at first but wasn't at all displeased with the Browing once i got it up the farm an put a few rounds down range. Light, very pointable with or with out mod on the end and the trigger was pretty much spot on from out the box setting. Will not go far wrong with one if you decide to go for a Xbolt.

ScottCromwell2 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 super gun with a really good bolt that lets you remove the round in the chamber without taking the safety off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbust Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yes, just bought one in 300 win mag. I was after a sako but would have had to special order it and it could have taken up to 5 months to come. I had a play with an x bolt and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. Indeed I liked the browning that much I decided to treat myself to a Browning T Bolt 22LR at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningDJC Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Ive got a 243 stainless stalker, brilliant gun, would recommend it! the duratouch finish on mine is well worth looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scamp Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I had one, bought it for a night vision set up, sold it a month later, i didn't like the trigger, the rest of the rifle was ok, the bolt operates the same as Sako's, Browning advertise the trigger as featherweight, don't think so. I have A Blaser, a Sako and an Anschutz, they all have good triggers, the X Bolt trigger is no where near as good as them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castletyne Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've got the .223 but i find it a heavy gun especially with the t8 mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
