BROWNING X-BOLT Shop this product

Design and key features

The BROWNING X-BOLT is built around a stainless receiver and sporter-contour stainless barrel (22″ shown in this configuration) that pairs durability with predictable harmonics. This example is chambered in 308 Win — a versatile hunting cartridge offering balanced recoil, proven terminal performance, and wide ammunition availability for medium to large game.

Trigger and action

The crisp adjustable Feather Trigger is a standout: factory-set with no take-up or creep, it gives a clean break under follow-up-fire conditions. The action is a classic bolt design with a detachable magazine holding four rounds for a low-profile hunting package.

Recoil management and ergonomics

The X-Bolt’s Inflex recoil pad significantly reduces perceived recoil, improving shooter comfort in a 6 lb 8 oz package. The satin finished, checkered black walnut stock with rosewood pistol cap and forend cap balances traditional aesthetics with practical grip and sling mounting at nickel studs.

Optics and mounting

Built to accept modern optics, the receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning’s secure X-Lock scope mount. That extra-secure mounting system, combined with a polished chamber and gold-plated trigger finish, makes the rifle ready for a premium glass setup right out of the box.

Why this platform works in the field

Between the 1:12 twist, sporter barrel contour, detachable floorplate magazine, and the combination of a polished chamber and stainless construction, the BROWNING X-BOLT delivers repeatable accuracy and weather-resistant performance. The balance of a walnut stock and durable finishes keeps the rifle both functional and classically styled.
