I know many of you will not care, but Browning is listing left hand X-bolts for 2011.

I am waiting for them to come out with a 375 Xbolt in Left Hand. I had an Abolt and it was very accurate and dependable despite being a dreaded push feed.


STAY IN THE FIGHT!

I had an A-Bolt that after a trigger job and glass bedding was extremely accurate. I've never had issues with Browning.

I will have one, if it shoots well I may have several, I have always liked the A-bolt and with some trigger work have shot well. Heck, I might go completely crazy and buy a WSM!!

They've all been glass bedded, they all have Leupold VXL scopes except the 375 which has a 2.5 x 8 Leupold.

They all shoot very well, the "dreaded push feed" has never malfunctioned, I like the 60 degree bolt throw.

The X-bolt is interesting, the only concern I have is the magazine being dropped inadvertently.

I don't know if the X-bolt is meant to replace the A-bolt, but at age 53 I'm content with the A-bolts.

Thanks Browning - for thinking of the lefties . . .


P.S. The 325 is my favorite one - short action, light rifle, wicked and accurate cartridge

It is still very accurate and dependable and I do not care that it is push feed, never gave me any troubles. Thanks for selling it to me.


Good Hunting,

Glad to see Browning expanding the X-Bolt line up for us.
Like others have said, it will be interesting to see what they do with the A-Bolt.

I have A-bolts in 300WSM and 338WM. Never nad a problem with either and enjoy shooting them. Really pleased to see the wide selection of calibers in the X-bolt. Wonder when they will be available. I've always wanted a .280.

I like the caliber selection from Browning. Never fired one, but would love to shoot one some day...

I've never had a problem with my LH 7mm RemMag A-bolt Stainless Stalker.

However, the looks of the X-Bolt just don't appeal to me.

I have two Browning A-bolt Medallions.

One time the .338 Win. Mag. had a feeding problem.

The clip had come loose from the floorplate. Fortunately a follow up shot was not needed although it only took about second or two to get a round chambered.

I bought the left handed .375 when they first came out. It took me a year and a half to finally get one. I had ordered a wooden stock but had to settle for the fiberglass and stainless. I sure didnt want it but am I glad I got it. It is a tack driver and has been to Alaska about 6 or 7 times. Its a workhorse. Just love it!
