Thread: Browning X-bolt vs Tikka T3

I just replaced a 7mm08 xbolt with a Tikka T3. I liked the xbolt but the duratouch stock was annoying. It all got sticky and peeled off. It seemed to be quite fussy on ammo too and took me a while to come up with some good loads for it.
The Tikka I replaced it with seems to be a tack driver in comparison. The thing that sold me on the Tikka was the availability of parts for it. I tried to get another stock to replace the one on the xbolt to no avail, whereas there are untold stock options for the Tikkas.
