Hey scottie
I have never handled an Xbolt but my rifle is a tikka and you are right, it is pretty noisy when clambering a round.
You can shove your fingers in there and go slow but its tricky and not always possible.
It is possible to upgrade the half cock on the tikka tho and others on here will know far more about that than me.
If I was you i would go with what feels the best, if its the Xbolt then don't worry about reputation.
You will probably shoot better with a rifle that fits you well with a less reputation than one that has a great reputation but doesn't fit you as well !
