I have a 7-08 with the graphite stock and fluted stainless barrel. It's a great gun and I'd buy it again.

I got one last year when I got lucky with a low bid on a NIB rifle in .325WSM. I already owned a BLR IN .325, so I knew I'd like the rifle. The ergonomics are great and the rifle handles very well.

As far as how it shoots, it printed sub MOA with 200gr Accubonds on the very first 3 shot group. I got one of the last closeout Zeiss Conquests in 3-9×40 and feel pretty good that the package totalled right at $800 after I got my rebate from Browning.

Are the trigger guards on the X-Bolt metal or have they gone with plastic ?

steiner scope was a little intimidating at first with the plex s7 reticle but the more i shot the better i liked it, clarity is unmatched
