This is the part that allows you to push the button to open the bolt even while the gun is on &quot;safe&quot;. I am just curious if anybody else has run into this problem, if so, how common is this problem and how can it be prevented in the future? Thanks for your help.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi All,<br />
<br />
New on the site, figured I would go on and hear what others might have to say about this rifle and any experiences.<br />
<br />
The reviews I had looked at before buying all were good...so...<br />
<br />
Was looking for something to do longer ranges and this seemed like a good deal for the money.<br />
<br />
And, Browning has a pretty good name and history!<br />
<br />
Can&#039;t wait to get on the range with this! Looks, feels great.<br />
<br />
Regards]]></content:encoded>

I have my Browning X Bolt Long Range 65 CM in a Boyd&#039;s At One stock I installed last week. I got the stock trigger down to 2lb&#039;s 14oz with a little work. This morning I&#039;m going to install the M Carbo spring kit to see if I can get it down to 2lb&#039;s or less. I would really like 1.5lb&#039;s.  If it won&#039;t I guess I&#039;ll try that trigger. I&#039;m well over $2500 in this rifle with the Nightforce 12X42 scope. It&#039;s a tack...<br />

Picked up a Leupold VX-Freedom 4-12X40 to mount up top. I bought the gun in a 18 inch barrel length, after spending some time looking at it, I&#039;m hoping I didn&#039;t make a mistake and get it to short. The 2 options were 18&quot; and 22&quot;. Should I have bought the 22, does barrel length play that big of a role?<br />

My plans, shoot 165 grain and I won&#039;t be shooting over 300...<br />
