My son is considering an X bolt with the dura touch coating on the synthetic stock, has anyone owned one long enough to know if the stocks stand up?
 
It will be my 4th hunting season with mine this year and they seem to hold up fine.They're a few ding here and there on the stock but nothing major.
 
I haven't owned mine very long (2 months) but I can tell you that I really enjoy mine. 7mm. What Calibre is he wanting? ive seen two short mags now that have had ejection issues. But ive also talked to many people that love the rifle.
 
I have owned a 300wsm synthetic for over 2 yrs. The stock holds up good and is great to use. Never had an ejection problem, but had to use a cut polish on the mag to clean up the plastic burrs to solve a loading problem, end of problem and loads excellent.
 
have an x bolt ss with comp .... had a year and use a fair bit ... keep the solvents away and lightly oil and it has held up well ... very happy with it
 
After selling the things (worked at a GTA gun store) I decided to buy one. Bought the .308 varmint/stalker. Love it! I have shot Remington 700 for years (.300 Win) as my go to everything gun and have had lots of experience with Savage and Tikka.

My .308 loves Hornady Super Performance 150 gr'rs. 5 round groups (100 yards) always seem to touch each other. It liked the Winchester 150 gr xp3's but not as much as the Hornady's.

If you want to know more let me know.
 
I have had mine since they came out so this will be the 4th moose season taking it along and beating the crap out of it! Mine is a stainless stalker in 325wsm and its simply amazing! In my opinion there is nothing better than the dura touch...warm to the touch all the time, hand grips to it like no other even when soaking wet and cold and its nearly impossible to mark up and I have never had an issue with oils or solvents with it. As far as feeding issues... never had a problem with the .325 but have heard of 300wsms having issues.

He will love it...Ryan
