Ye, no worries, re: reloading. My hunting 308 is X-Bolt. I love it. Recoil pad on that thing is the best one I've ever been abused by. And like you said, very lite, it makes it worth it, after you climb a little with it, every cent.
The only practical difference between Tikka and Browning, this models anyway, is the bolt. Tikka is a little more 'rattly' so to speak, but very smooth, VERY smooth. Browning is tight, in a good way, but needs a bit more force. Going from tikka to browning I had to get used to pulling the bolt a bit further back. After the case ejects, you need to move it back a bit more to pick up the next one (at least in x-bolt). If you pull it back far enough to eject, it's not far enough to pick up the next round. Once you start shooting it, you will see what I mean. Just muscle memory. Very nice pewpew
