Overview: Why the X-Bolt Stalker stands out

The BROWNING X-BOLT STALKER is a family of black composite stock bolt-action rifles built for consistent performance in adverse conditions. It brings together a Dura-Touch Armor Coating composite stock, a receiver drilled and tapped for four-screw scope mounts, and user-focused ergonomics like a right-hand palm swell and textured grip. At a list price of $1,034.99, it sits in a practical price band for shooters who demand durability without overpaying for unnecessary bells and whistles.

Design and construction

Stock and chassis

The Dura-Touch Armor Coating on the composite stock provides a grippy, low-glare surface that helps maintain control when weather or sweat would otherwise compromise handling. The right-hand palm swell paired with a textured grip minimizes slippage for confident follow-up shots. Length of pull is 13.625 inches, a neutral measurement that works for most shooters while allowing easy addition of spacers or aftermarket recoil pads if you prefer a custom fit.

Receiver and barrel

The X-Bolt Stalker’s receiver has a matte blued finish and comes drilled and tapped to accept four-screw base scope mounts — a feature that makes mounting optics fast and rock-solid. The product details list the barrel material as matte stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and stability for a 26-inch barrel length. The listed twist specification is 110 (commonly denoted as 1:10), a fast enough twist rate to stabilize the heavier bullets typically used in .300 Winchester Magnum applications.

Caliber and ballistics: 300 Win Mag

Chambering this X-Bolt Stalker in 300 Win Mag gives you a cartridge with long-range performance and proven terminal energy for larger game. With the 26-inch barrel and a twist rate suitable for heavier projectiles, expect reliable bullet stabilization and strong downrange energy — ideal for open-country hunting or longer target work. The three-round capacity is typical for full-power magnum bolt rifles and helps keep the rifle compact and manageable in the field.

Applications

The 300 Win Mag is a go-to for hunters pursuing elk, moose, and other large game at moderate to long ranges. It’s equally at home as a precision-target platform for shooters who enjoy dialing long-range shots and working with heavier, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets. The rifle’s overall length of 46.75 inches and weight of 6 lb 13 oz strike a good balance between stability on the shot and carryability during long stalks.

Ergonomics and shooter-focused features

The Inflex recoil pad helps tame heavy-recoil loads while the sling swivel stud provides practical carry options for when you’re on the move. The textured grip and palm swell are subtle but meaningful touches — little design choices that reduce shooter fatigue and improve shot-to-shot consistency. For optics, the pre-drilled, tapped receiver means you spend less time fitting rings and more time zeroing and shooting.

Weight, balance, and handling

At just under 7 pounds, this configuration of the X-Bolt Stalker remains nimble enough for extended carry without sacrificing the mass that helps steady a long-range shot. The composite stock’s Dura-Touch finish reduces surface slickness, while the 26-inch barrel provides a compromise between muzzle velocity and overall maneuverability.

Field maintenance and longevity

Matte stainless steel on the barrel and a matte blued receiver combined with the composite Dura-Touch stock make for low-maintenance ownership. Routine field care — cleaning the bore after heavy magnum strings and keeping the action lightly lubricated — keeps this rifle running smoothly season after season. The X-Bolt platform has a strong heritage for reliability and simple, long-lived mechanics which contributes to lower lifetime ownership costs.

Who should choose the X-Bolt Stalker?

If you want a robust bolt-action rifle that supports .300 Win Mag performance in a ready-to-optic, field-capable package, the BROWNING X-BOLT STALKER is an excellent consideration. It’s tailored to hunters and precision shooters who need a dependable three-shot magnum platform that’s easy to mount optics on and comfortable to carry all day.

The combination of a drilled-and-tapped matte blued receiver, a 26-inch matte stainless steel barrel, Inflex recoil pad, Dura-Touch composite stock, and practical dimensions (46.75″ overall length, 13.625″ length of pull, 6 lb 13 oz weight) makes this rifle versatile for varied environments and missions.
