Browning X bolt rifles. Anyone have?

I've got one in 26 nosler. It's the western hunter. I really like the look and feel of it, but have yet to shoot it. My brother has one in 270 and he loves it.

My brother in law bought one to hunt with, got married and put it in the attic. I have been trying to buy it from him, but he thinks it's still worth what he paid for it.

they're fine guns, but there are much better options that cost less.

look at bergara and tikka

i have two x bolt 7mm 08. I like them a lot for dropping a few deer a year. No issues with either. One was a gift and the other is a youth model my FIL bought for my wife. Cant argue with free guns...Thats all i have to offer

Wait, he put it in the attic?

Like in the attic in his house? An attic that can reach ~120-130 degrees?

WTH?

I bought the Hells canyon in a 300 win mag last year, its accurate and very comfortable to shoot. I also just picked up a white gold medallion chambered in a 30-06, but never found time to shoot it. I'm very impressed with the quality and the craftsmanship. Hopefully it shoots as good as it looks.

Yep, in the attic, in a case, covered in dust, rotting away. I did shoot a deer with it one year, wish he'd just give it to me.

How do you like your bergara? Im about to drop some coin on one if I can find positive reviews. They look fine af

I have an X Bolt Hunter In .308. I really like it and it has a nice trigger and smooth action.

The last buck taken with it was shot 130 yards in Freer TX.

Much better than my previous rifle. Winchester model 70.

ETA:
The ones with the blonde/maple stocks are fine as frog hair.

I have an Xbolt Medallion 6.5 Creedmoor. Very accurate, lite, and beautiful. I paid too much for it but it’s the gun I’ve always wanted and now I have it.
