The modern precision bolt gun must blend mechanical refinement, repeatable accuracy, and shooter-focused ergonomics. For hunters, competitive shooters, and long-range enthusiasts seeking a versatile platform, attention to trigger quality, bedding, and recoil management separates average rifles from top performers.

BROWNING X-BOLT

Design and build — what sets this X-Bolt apart

The X-Bolt builds on Browning’s proven platform and adds refinements aimed at precision. The new three-lever Feather Trigger delivers a clean, crisp pull with no takeup or creep and minimal overtravel — essential for consistent shot release. Browning freefloats the barrel by bedding both the front and rear of the action, stabilizing barrel-to-stock spacing and helping the rifle maintain point-of-impact across strings.

Controls and shooter-focused features

Safety and handling

The bolt unlock button paired with the toptang safety provides an added layer of safe handling when checking or unloading the chamber — a practical enhancement for field use and range work.

Recoil mitigation and barrel protection

Recoil is managed through a Pachmayr Decelerator pad that promotes a directional deflection of forces, pulling the comb away from your face to reduce felt recoil and muzzle climb. The recessed muzzle crown protects the rifling, and this Pro Long Range variant adds a Recoil Hawg muzzle brake with thread protector for additional recoil control and faster follow-up capability.

Pro Long Range configuration — accuracy-focused components

This Pro Long Range model pairs a carbon fiber stock and carbon gray elite Cerakote metal finish with a skip-fluted sporter barrel for weight savings and quick cooling. The combination of a lightweight, rigid stock and the freefloated, bedded action creates a stable shooting platform suited to precision work. Priced at $1,837.99, the X-Bolt offers premium features at a competitive street price.
