    I had one the same. Your new rifle will do anything any of the flash Harrys’ on here can do out to 600 yards.
    Suit the sights to your application. I had a light 3-9 on mine. You decide, and don’t be swayed by the no scope mantra. You get a lot of that from down south. That’s where their leader lives.

    Note that the front barrel band is held by a small screw with a little square nut on the inside. I suggest you glue the nut into its recess. It will fall out the first time you take the band off, and its very easy to lose. I glued mine in.

    a typical wedding present Nathan. You will get the bolt when you have finished the concreting, wall papered the lounge, painted the nursery for the new baby (compulsory), and apologised to the mother in law for breathing without her permission.

    Browning X-Bolt Stainless Stalker Carbon Fiber (?) Fluted

    I just picked up one of these in .308 WIN. Added a Minox ZA 5 2-10 x 50 with BDC reticle, mounted with Warne Maxima bases and rings.

    https://www.browning.com/products/ca...tid=240#center

    Best I can tell the CF stock is only a pattern but looks cool and the factory fluted barrel is a nice touch. This variation was only $120 over the price of a standard X-Bolt Stainless Stalker so I thought WTF !

    It may not look so new after a tour of Southland at the end of the year.

    I am off to shoot some paper at the local Sportsman's Club (range) . . . . behind the High School !

    Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

    Thanks Scouser, I just bought a section in Invercargill and plan to be back living in NZ (after 30 years) full time from mid 2015 so I may be looking for some "mountaineering hunter" mates to explore the Southern Alps if you are keen.

    Are you from the Blue half or Red half of Liverpool ?

    Nice X-Bolt!

    I sold a couple of those in Canada when they first came out. Real nice looking. Was very tempted to get one myself.
    Hunting is not a hobby.....its an addiction
