[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2588117, member: 109917"] I bought several X-Bolt rifles when they were first released. I kept a 223 for no other reason than everyone needs a 223 bolt gun. I recently received it back from Browning because the stock was sticky. I went to the range today and best I can tell, this is a 12 twist barrel, but short of me verifying with a rod and patch, I am going to assume that the internet was correct. I had believed this was an 8 twist all this time, since I rarely shot anything above 55gr, but bigger than Dallas it was keyholing 70gr Nosler RDF bullets. The quandary is, this is the Super Short Action that Browning used for a short period of time on the 223 and 22-250. Stocks are impossible to find and so are gunsmiths willing to rebarrel a Browning. Do I sell it outright or find a gunsmith that will screw a 7.5 twist barrel on it? Thanks Darryle [/QUOTE]
