My Last Post on this Blog -

First of all, thank you to all the people who have taken the time to leave comments.

The X-Bolt is long gone, along with another Browning firearm that I owned, I will not be purchasing any more Browning anything.

What was so upsetting about this whole situation was that particular rifle was one of the most accurate rifles I've ever owned, I hated getting rid of it.  Browning left me no choice though, they just didn't care, and every time I would call them I got a different story.

I sent this rifle back to Browning for fixing, they claimed they did all this stuff to fix the problem - still would not eject.  I then took it to 2 different gunsmiths and told them "you have carte blanche" to fix this, whatever it takes is ok with me, and neither one of them came up with a solution, that's how bad I wanted to keep this particular firearm.

What surprised me the most was the response I got from a few of the major gun rags, or I guess I should say the lack of response.  I called and emailed, gave the links to this blog and my youtube channel, and got NOTHING, they wouldn't touch this.  Maybe they figured it's not that big an issue, not worth their time.  I'm thinking they know which side their bread is buttered on, and who's doing the buttering - enough said on that!

Thanks for nothing GUNS and GUNS AND AMMO, along with a couple other publications, I mention those 2 because I let my subscription to both lapse.

So that's about it, I'm leaving this post because someone said we need to get the word out about this - he just bought one and it's doing the exact same thing.  Check the dates on some of the previous posts, the word is out, one of these videos on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/azCHR1S has close to 40,000 views.  I've done what I can and now have moved on.  My new favorite rifle for hunting is a Ruger in 300 RCM, very accurate and pretty close ballistically to the 300 WSM.
