Don't care for the caliber, but I like the XBolt...
If I could find one in .308 Winchester I might jump at it.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

Shot an X-bolt last year. Got it to make 1/2 MOA. Nice rifle, as well.
I'd pick the 28 Nosler. Loving that cartridge. And a 195 gr at +3000 fps MV is a big hammer! I made a friends do that on a 26" barrel. So, if Browning gave it a 26" or more, and a 1:8 twist, they did good.

Chad, the 6 pound NF scope would help tame the recoil.

I'd have to dig to see if it would stabilize heavier (longer) bullets. It has got a lot of fuel in that case.
