I think they are one of the best shooting rifles out there, top of their class in a non custom rifle!

My brother has an x bolt composite 300 win mag and I have a hell's canyon speed in 6.5 creedmoor. We love them both and they shoot awesome. Put a great scope on it and you will love your new rifle also.

You are set with a 7mm xbolt.  Throw a Leupy 3-18 on there with turrets and good to go.

I have the 7mm x-bolt. It is the sweetest shooting rifle I have ever shot. Right know I have been shooting federal 150 hi-shock, at 100 yards, overlapping holes.

I have a hells canyon long range in 7mag with a VX5HD and it’s a 1/2” moa rifle. Shot it out to 500 and it still shoots great groups!

I copied this from the other xbolt thread I just posted on but it fits here as well.

I have the hells canyon long range in 7mm rem mag and it’s a legitimate 1/2 moa rifle shooting 162gn eldx. I also just picked up the Browning xbolt pro long range in 300wm. I haven’t had much range time so the only thing that’s been down the tube is 190gn ABLR and it 3/4 or better. Great shooting rifles in my opinion.
