I've went and done the same thing in ordering that X-Bolt Browning especially through Dick's sporting goods. The 325 wsm might be a tad more than I want to tackle but at 50% off I couldn't pass. The model is the RMEF special x-bolt. I hope for really nice wood on it. One good thing is it should always be worth more than I paid for it. Sight unseen sometimes comes back to haunt you, sometimes we never learn. h34r:

and he's not recoil sensitive either. I grew up shooting heavy shotguns for ducks and geese and never complained too much. Those Weatherby rifles though test even my endurance. I know the 325 win is about all this guy is going to stand anymore. 12ga 3-1/2" heavy goose loads are a load on the shoulder, maybe that's why I didn't complain when the son took it down Southern Ohio to school with him. The neck and shoulder problems do get agrivated following a day at the range.

When I had my 444 I didn't think the recoil was all that bad. The 270 weatherby mag seems a lot worse to me. After 7-9 shots I start thinking about the next shot which says it's time to go home!
