ya, the Xl engine overheats, and craps out faster than others, not to mmetion the K style carb...So, I'd recomend a Savage X 4.6, it's still pretty big, it's easy as crap to work on, and in virtually unbreakable.Plus, if you want later, for 50 bucks (USD) you can get and Xl conversion kit which is simply new TVP's and a dogbone and fairly easy to install...
