I’ve had a few A bolts and one X bolt. I don’t have them anymore. Tikka stock will outshoot them all day long. But I’m a Tikka nut. The longer throw has never been an issue so far. Bolt is slick as butter so fast and easy to cycle. Not bashing Browning’s but I’ve had no success with any I’ve owned other than an older A Bolt in a 270. Resale is probably better on the Browning but I’ve lost no money trading Tikkas either. I got the 6.5 to hunt with in the lite rifle but do have the CTR in a 6.5 and a 260. The light is just as accurate if you cool after every 3 shots.
