Anybody have one and how do you like it ?? What model What scope did you pair with it ??

Yes we have 2 in the 280 rem bother with vx3 Leopold on top one 28 nosler helps cannon speed with vx 5 HD ltz2 on it and it's a killer out to 700 as far as we have shot a deer. The other 2 are black on black stalkers in all they are our go to guns alond with the few A bolts we have in 243,270,280 and 3006.cant go wrong with a original about not the a bolt 3 and the x bolt are just a all around great gun u can unload the chamber round with out pulling one out the mag

I had a 7mm that kicked like a mule. Accurate but I got rid of it.

mines a 25-06 stainless. 3x9x50 Leupold on top. accurate using Barnes 100gr. tssx

Have 6 of them all with 4.5x14 Leupold’s 4 shoot really well 2 not so much

Got a "western hunter" in a 6.5 Creedmoor. Shoots well, killed a few deer and a couple antelope with it. It has a vortex diamondback. 5 star would recommend.

It must be the Browning stock design, I’ve noticed that they kick hard too.

I have 2, one a 204 the other is a 300 win mag. The 204 i can shoot a 3 shot group and make 1 enlarge hole. The 300 i ended up sending it back to browning. It would only shoot a 3 inch group. Don't know what they did to it but it will shoot a one enlarged 3 shot group hole as well
The 300 is a he//s canyon. Both have 4.5-14 leapolds

Got xbolt hells canyon speed in 26 nosler with a Bushnell 6500 on top. Wish I had a whole fleet of them.

300 short mag and a 308.. My favorite rifles.. Vari XII on both.. They shoot better than I am able... No complaints, like the clips, unloading, fit and feel..

Very nice rifles for the money. Good workmanship. They're lightweight, so that may be why some are complaining of recoil.

I sold an X-bolt Medallion Maple in .30-06. Wish I still had it.

That is one I am looking at Jim...... not in Maple though. The Hunter looks to be the same thing only different. Reading the comments here I am a little apprehensive about the recoil, I've posted before about the old Savage I have been using..... it is tough to keep scopes dialed in because of the recoil......plus it is just not fun to go and shoot anymore. Interested in keeping to the 30-06 even though I've got a lot of good advice here about the .243 and 6.5 Creedmore.....

The Weatherby Sporter looks like a good one too.........just cant find one to shoulder around here--and I'm not crazy about buying a long rifle on-line without seeing how it fits first/.

Don't over look the 7mm08. It's also a great low recoil round if you find a rifle you like in it.

I have a 280 with a 3.5x10 Leupold. Deer killer.

I'd rather have a lightweight, harder-recoiling rifle than a heavy one with less recoil. You carry the rifle around all day, but only shoot for an instant, normally; and I never notice recoil when shooting at game.

There are ways to reduce the effects of recoil at the range.

.22-250. X Bolt with a 3 x 9 Tru Glow scope. lightweight & accurate.

.243 X-Bolt left handed stainless hunter topped with a VX-3. It really came to life with Hornady SST 95gr handloads. It is an absolute fantastic rifle.
