iv got a couple of xbolts, personally i like them. you cant top load the mags while theyre in the rifle still but theyre not exactly hard to pull out and reload, you can also chamber load a round if you manage to empty the magazine. the half cock is really good they lock in so the bolt wont fall open and out, you can put the saftey on while halfcock also for extra safety. my first stainless x blot iv owned for 10+ years its my old faithful we have climbed many mountains swam many rivers and shot many animals together and theres still alot of life left to live with it. the durastock is kind of worse for ware now sticky but i will strip that off next time it bothers me.
hope this helps your decision.
