Trying to make an informed decision on my next rifle for hunting. Going with the Xbolt. It seems going with the Xbolt 2 vs xbolt is a no brainer, although can save 200ish on the original xbolt.
-Im debating between the 7prc and 300winmag, I like the 7prc's numbers and the fact its marginally better then the 300 but had less recoil. However its a new round and long term availability, is a concern. I can not order ammo online where I live. I also like to get custom turrets find ammo and run it, so dont want to play the hard to find game. and have the ability to hit any gun shop and find a box of ammo if needed. Really leaning toward the 300 due to ease of ammo
-Looking at the Xbolt(2) down to the speed and the speed LR. along with the speed sporter. I really like the sporters as they come in at 40-42in overall length with the brakes, vs the others are 44 to 46 and some change, which is a long rifle to be throwing around. I am concerned about the accuracy of the sporters. I wont be getting a can for the sporters. The 7prc comes with a 20in and 24in barrel and the 300 in a 22 and 26in, understand the 4in is going cost me 200ft per second. still going to keep me at the 1800-2k ft per second in the 4-500 range.
-Some models come with the radial brake some come with the Recoil hawg, any thoughts on either, read the hawg is better but heavier, and heard the radial can come loose throwing off shots and spits back into your face
I shoot deer mainly in the 3-500 range, have taken deer out to 700. I would say I want something that is the most accurate under 1000yds, of which I think any of these would do, but is one combo better then the other.
anybody have good luck with any particular ammo in either of these rounds in these guns.
