I held a white gold medallion abolt2 in a gander mountain one time about 20 years ago and it was probably the finest rifle I've ever laid hands on

This is a factory 308

Are you making a statement or asking a question about your X-Bolt?
Again, why did you do so little research on the X-Bolt before you bought it?
Nope, sold or traded every 6.8 X-Bolt I have had.
According to the reviews of the Target Max and Max Light the diameter of the action is "full size" and it has four 8-40 screws and a retainer pin for the 20 MOA rail.
The MDT chassis is available in Europe, I have seen where members of European forums have purchased the MDT chassis for use with their X-Bolt rifles that originally came with the factory rotary.
I'd be lying if I said for a fact that it would work, but I don't see Browning modifying the action of the standard X-Bolt for use in one version of their European lineup.

If they would do a synthetic stalker version of it, I'd be all over it but why would they build something for a thousand when they can build this and sell it for 3500 lol

Yep! Its easy. You replace the trigger spring.
I wish you had not shared this as I don't need one but it is very tempting to order one. They offer quite a few cartridges too. I wonder how well that octagon barrel will shoot?

Idk...
Seems I recall they are, it's the long action CIP that give me the headache.
FTR, I was talking about buying just the bottom metal, not both.
Yes, with the Timney trigger installed, you have safe and fire two position safety like before, but when on safe, the bolt is not locked like in factory condition. The bolt release button on the bolt becomes inert.
If I could choose, I'd prefer to retain the bolt lock system, but I like the Timney trigger over the factory trigger enough that I'm okay making that compromise.
Funny how we all have our own tastes.
I actually like the flush fitting mag on a bolt action rifle and the X-bolt rotary magazine works great for me even when feeding rounds that aren't exactly known for smooth feeding like the short fat steep shouldered ones.

I blame the infantry. I like being able to see a longer magazine clearly hanging out of the belly so I know it's there
Darryle I emailed Jard and they stated that the model that is in the link does have the bolt lock feature incorporated into it. I also believe the trigger shoe on the newer model has less of a curve than the model without the bolt lock.
Hope that helps.
