I took my 325 out to the range and shot several different loads out of it. It shot them all very accurately. They weren't all to the same point of impact but the groups were impressive. I took it out hunting yesterday and dropped it from a height of about 18 inches onto the recoil pad and broke the stock. To say I am pissed would be the understatement of the century. I am going to send it back to Browning for a replacement. The rifle slipped out of my hand as I was putting it on my shoulder and dropped to the ground. I heard a click when it hit the ground and thought maybe the metal sling swivel had hit the stock or something. When I picked it up it came in two pieces. I felt sick to my stomach. If Browning will not come through for me I am not sure what I will do.

If you have not sent the X Bolt into Browning yet, you might consider buying a decent stock you can finish yourself. I only say that because I absolutely hate the Browning poly finish, I remove it from ever shotgun and rifle I own then refinish them in oil. Everything and anything those poly stocks touch leaves a gray spot on the finish, looks like they have been left in the rain (water spots) after a while.
Oh, if you want to get the best results, accuracy and velocity from a WSM, try VN-560. It will get you that extra 100 fps normally missing from the WSM. There used to be a Short Mag forum on the net and I found and long thread about 560 on that thread. My 300 WSM 180 gr loads with 560 went with me to Africa. Ed

I ended up buying a laminated stock from Boyds. Holy crap what a difference. I was concerned that I would not like the gun as much with the new stock. I took it out to shoot and found that not only is the recoil much reduced from what was already a light kick but it also shoots much more accurately than it did before and it was no slouch before. I am so impressed with this gun it is ridiculous.
