My son got the 325wsm X-bolt when he was 14. Its a very light and small frame gun which is nice ( unless you like a larger gun ) The trigger is adjustable. It did not like the nosler custom ammo but shoots the Winchester XPS stuff fine. The trigger was not as good as we hoped for - not near as good as the Timney's on our other rifles. It also kicks pretty good - with a wood stock it kicks about the same as a 300 or 338 with a synthetic stock due to its light weight. The safety is nice - two position with a 3rd button to open the bolt leaving it on safe. The clip is great for kids and road hunting. Jump out, pop it in and 3 rounds ready to rock.
Once we get the trigger dialed in I think it will be a good gun. My son dropped his cow moose with it like a rock ( not too hard to do).
Has a Cabelas 4-20 scope on it but the reticles are pretty coarse and the dots end at 500 yrds - he misses his Shepherd Scope.
He's looking at moving to a .338-378 for elk as he wants a bigger frame rifle and a new trigger and a turret scope now that the new more affordable Leica rangefinders are out.
