[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1881642, member: 93895"] I've owned 3 Browning xbolts and still have one. A fellow was interested in buying one. I simply stated that I probably wouldn't buy another myself but he may indeed be pleased with the particular model he was looking at. I did state my concerns with two of them I owned which was a legitimate issue: the twist was different than advertised as twist was physically measured. I didn't add any negative comments. Just facts. That doesn't mean there aren't people who own xbolts that shoot great. I also added the comment that those two rifles shot well with bullets appropriate for the actual twist that they had. Not bashing but facts. I do have a Browning light gold shot gun that I'm very fond of. I have a Leupold rangfinder that I am fond of. I don't attack brands. I do reserve the right to be cautious about what I purchase based on experience just as well as I reserve the right to consider that I may want to give it another try. Never say never. Folks are to eager to get on the bandwagon: they love brand xyz and thats all they will ever buy again from here until eternity. They hate brand zxy and you can't even pay them to ever use that brand again. I admit I'm overly reluctant on some products and probably to eager about others. It is what it is, human nature. No need to loose much sleep over any of it. Use what works for you and it's not the end of the world if someone doesn't agree with you about it. [/QUOTE]
