I absolutely love my Brownings, I hear mixed feelings on them but honestly I can't believe I only own 2 with the luck I've had. Both are factory, both equipped with BOSS and the 1" group with the 95's in the super short is the worst group I've experienced with 10-15 different types of factory ammo. Haven't tried an x-bolt yet, although the speed in 6.5 is awful tempting 8)
