A co-worker bought a new Browning X-Bolt. He brought it by the house, we put a scope on it, and went out to the land to sight it in.
Since he is a HUGE lover of "Lonesome Dove" I threw my Uberti Henry in the truck with a box of .44-40 BP loads. He LOVED it. We were popping cow patties out to 250 yards with it while the barrel cooled on the X-Bolt.
I don't think he's ready to trade the X-Bolt for a Henry, but he sure enjoyed the Henry.
BTW, the X-Bolt is a sweet rifle, even if it does shoot smokeless. I suppose one could stuff some 4f into a .22-250 shell and have fun with it, but probably couldn't get 4000fps.
