Not a bad rig, heavily overpriced for a Asian made rifle, but hey, it does say "Browning" on, right before made in Japan!
They have been crowd pleasers at our shops in the past, but the A and X Bolt fad seems to be fading as of late.The rifle is decently built, the triggers are, well, for todays standard, not bad!
The 325WSM may be the only reason I might issue the caution statement, but if your going to reload, there won't be an issue with the steadily dwindling ammo availability that is plaguing the 325WSM now.
While the .325(.323"/8mm) caliber, at least in my book is one of the all time great calibers, the lack of available bullets compared to the 30 and 338 calibers has caused the 8mm to fall by the way side in the states. After all, what the 8mm can do, the 338's can do better!
The round is a hammer, it'll do whatever you ask of it, within reason... the rifle, well, with so many 'better for the money' rifles out there, it is difficult to say the X-Bolt takes center podium, the Brownings aren't what they used to be, not by a long shot, but they are a pretty rifle, and for the hunter, will accomplish all you'll ever need to do!
If you like the rifle, get it, like I said, it is not a bad rifle, they seem to hold up, as far as accuracy is concerned, they have been hit or miss, from the ones we have set up, some have shot well, really shot well, less than MOA, other X-Bolts have been real shotguns!
I would say the majority of the X-Bolts have been in the, 'really shot well' camp!
Buy it, enjoy it, one thing is for sure, they ain't going to do nothing but get more expensive as time goes on!
