New X-bolt!

There is also an article in Rifle magazine.

3 lug 60 degree bolt. Stronger bases. Detachable mag.
I like it. I do hate to see the WSSMs go though.

What do you guys think.

I think the synthetic models look pretty sharp but I hate what they've done to the wood on the Medallion and Hunter.  Overall it sounds like they made a few improvements to the A-Bolt and gave it a futuristic look and name.  I'd like to have one of the Composite Stalkers in 308.
