OB's opinion on the Browning X-bolt

I'll start by saying that I'm bias towards Browning because I was raised on their rifles and shotguns.
How good of a gun am I getting for 1k? Is the name worth it? I'm comfortable at that price.
What other guns should I be considering at that price point?

I have a 15 year old abolt that shoot the same as my r700 with a new stock and trigger. Just a fantastic gun. I have shot a few xbolts and they seem even better. There is no real after market for them but if you just want a stock gun that shoots great, that is the way to go. The bolt is incredibly smooth, has a great trigger, magazine, and shoots straight.

some of the higher-end SKUs are nice. i just think it's crazy to charge what they charge without an accuracy guarantee. lots of name involved in that sticker price

Overpriced. I would go Tikka over them in a heartbeat.

My brother bought an xbolt last year. It's a nice gun. But I will take my 20 year old abolt over it any day.

I have an x bolt medalion in 243.
Its my go to rifle. leupold VXIII with flip up leupold caps and a mountain strap. Dead nuts accurate, beautifle gun.
My # 2 is a win model 70 supergrade in 270 same scope set up.

I have a Browning Xbolt. I love it and will out shoot me. The fit and finish are top notch. It wears Swaro glass and kills deer just fine. Will make a great gift to my future son.

Tikka hands down.

I bought an x-bolt stainless stalker 2 years ago and it's the best shooting rifle that I've ever owned. I haven't yet shot a Tikka but I've been extremely impressed with it so far

Savage has a nice rifle. I really like the accutrigger.

We have a couple X-bolts and a few Tikkas at the camp, both are great rifles. I would find which ever one is the better deal at the time and roll with it.

Have a Tikka and Sako. My next one will be the xbolt regardless how much people tell me they suck.
I shoot a friends xbolt everytime I get the chance. That gun fits me like a glove and is more accurate than I am.
