    Mate just bought a xbolt in 7m 08, It shot great straight out of the box. Was impressive to say the least. Nice action, i liked it. He could shoot the eye out of a hare with it at 100yards if he wanted.
    Mag i liked, would consider one myself. Half cock and safety seemed real good as well, very nice

    Ok second question then. What's one worth second hand. Has had about 40 sounds through it. Stock has a reasonable amount of scuffs and scratches on the soft per layer of the stock. Minox zl3 scope.
    Buying off a mate and trying to get a fair deal for all

    Im onto my 2nd. Great rifles and apart from the trigger hard to fault. The first one I replaced the trigger spring with a cut off biro spring and that worked well. That was a micro model in wood blue in 243 and was a laser and I shot a 100 or so deer with it. Someone on the forum is enjoying it now. This latest one is a 270wsm. I put a Carbo spring in and cut the barrel to 22". And added a carbon stock. it works a treat. Like the first, very accurate.

    Its a personal thing I know, but the xbolt and Sako A7 are both under rated.

    Sounds promising. Where did you get the carbon stock from?
