I know a few members have bought (and immediately sold) this platform, sorry if I missed it and I didn't want to clutter the classifieds so... @enkriss and @Buckhorn70 what did you think/why did you decide not to use this platform?
 
As far as a Saddle Platform the Tethrd Predator is hard to beat for a balance of weight and size (even though the Predator does not measure up to the advertised inches on their website).

The wings on the Xwing need to be angled as they will be used while leaning. If they were angled to accommodate the bottom of your boot, I probably would’ve kept the Xwing for some hunts this year.
 
I have been back and forth on whether or not I want to keep it or not.

I think it makes a mediocre platform standalone but combine it with a ROS I find it superior to any other option.
 
I like it better than my predator. It has the same width, better angles and packs better. With the platform and my stick I can shoot around most trees that I hunt from, add to that an easy attachment point for an ROS. For me it will be the platform I carry this season.

Might want to file that ros slot. I sliced an EWO OCB strap.
 
I really like my x-wing. I am still undecided wether I am going to pick up a couple steps to go with it. Don't need them with the crossbow. But it might be nice to have when using the compound.
 
So it's now coming with a textured finish.
 
Looks nice!! It's also a little darker, mine was kinda bronze/brown and definitely smooth. I broke the edges and spray bombed it to hide that white-ish aluminum.
