[QUOTE="6pakzak, post: 2395043, member: 120986"] I bought a Browning xbolt in 6.5 creedmoor, it was bedded from the factory and had the Sporter barrel, action was super smooth, trigger broke super clean, loved everything about it except the shooting, best I could get after playing around with lots of different loads was about 1 1/4 group at 100 and that was on a good day, after about 250 rounds I gave up, a lot of wasted ammo, I took it back to my local gun dealer and he traded it in on the savage precision axis and I gave him 100 bucks I just wanted to be done with it and basically would take whatever he had sitting there, I seen the savage and thought you've always been good to me so I took it, action not so smooth, scope base was off quite a bit so I used Burris signature zee rings with inserts to line scope up without using scope adjustments and it shoots amazing and I don't see myself getting rid of it ever, when I'm pushing daisies you can probably get a great deal on it from my wife, guess what I'm saying is what really matters is how it shoots and you can spend a lot on fancy guns with smooth actions that look real pretty but doesn't mean it will shoot better than anything else, I'm not putting down browning either maybe I got one that was not so great but I'll probably not buy another one.
