Yes suppressed. First nice bolt action for me, but easily groups 1.5” for 10 rounds. I’d love to sell it and move to a tikka with all the Mr potato head parts/accessories but it shoots too well to part with. Shoot as fast as I want and no change in accuracy until mirage starts.
Report back how you like it. I'm strongly considering an X-Bolt 2 as I don't want to tinker.Thanks everyone for the input ! I ended up going with the 22” barrel. I figured I can always cut it down if it feels too long, pretty tough to make it grow longer if I went with an 18” and didn’t like it
That's what lead me to what will be almost 95% certain going with Browning. I've handle both, the Tikka was nice shouldered well and of course that action but the X-Bolt just felt more solid was it better not necessarily the stock just felt right as far as quality. Plus the recoil pad is leaps and bounds better in the X-bolt I just want to shoot and T3x is going to lead me down an expensive rabbit hole I can't afford right now. I know this is pretty much a Tikka forum but I've never heard anyone run down a X-bolt on here.
Scope mounting is also easier on the x-bolt to get eye relief correct. All tikas are long action receivers and you have to fight with over half the scopes these days.
Finally had time to go shoot it yesterday, it was a little breezy so I started at 50 yards and did Browning’s break in procedure. At 50 yards the holes were touching each other. When I pushed it out to 100 the wind picked up a little more, but I was able to still keep it at about 1” groups. I am guessing if I can find a calmer day to shoot that group will come together a little ! I was just shooting off of a table with a bipod, and was mainly just looking to get it close and get the barrel break in done. Adding the suppressor this week and will get it dialed in
