Have owned both. Now use Tikkas. The X-Bolt is an awesome rifle but the Tikka trigger is much nicer. You can buy a lighter spring I believe for the X-Bolt though. Tikka half bolt can be made very nice with the half bolt modification. People bag on the half bolt idea but a rifle in the half bolt position with the safety applied has two layers of security where as the bolt closed and safety on is only one. I know which I prefer.
