Burt, I am shooting at 100 yds, that is the limit at the club I am in. I know what your saying about the Tikka, I have one in 223 but it didnt come into its own till about 100 rounds had been down the barrel, "I did buy it new" I am pretty sure the Browning will get tighter, I am still working with the loads and oal, So far I am very happy with the rifle as far as a hunter, I checked the Timney website and they say they keep working on triggers for the newer production rifles, they make one for the A bolt already, I think its just a matter of time for them to come up with one for the Xbolt, when they do I will have one.
