For shooters who demand repeatable long-range performance from a bolt-action platform, attention to bedding, trigger control, and reliable bolt mechanics separates good rifles from great ones. Tactical operators and precision hunters alike will appreciate a rifle that blends proven design with purposeful enhancements to deliver consistent groups and user-friendly handling.

BROWNING X-BOLTShop this product

Overview

The BROWNING X-BOLT builds on Browning’s proven legacy with targeted improvements for stability and accuracy. As a Bolt Action rifle it is freefloated by bedding the front and rear of the action, preserving consistent barrel-to-stock spacing—critical for repeatable point-of-impact at distance. This Stalker Long Range model adds a heavy sporter contour barrel and a removable muzzle brake for reduced recoil and faster follow-up shots.

Key features that matter

Bedding & barrel

Action bedding at both the front and rear locks in harmonized spacing between barrel and stock, minimizing shifts caused by temperature or recoil. The recessed muzzle crown protects rifling from damage—a small detail that preserves accuracy over the long haul.

Trigger & bolt work

A three-lever Feather Trigger delivers a clean, crisp pull that helps shooters maintain consistent trigger discipline. The 60-degree fast-cycling bolt lift allows quicker cycling in tight positions. Safety is enhanced by a bolt unlock button that works with the top-tang safety for secure checking and unloading of the chamber.

Optics & ergonomics

The XLock scope mount system provides a rock-solid foundation for optics alignment and return-to-zero after scope removal. An Inflex recoil pad and an adjustable synthetic comb on the stock let shooters dial in fit for comfort and consistent cheek weld—important for shooting multiple rounds from the bench or field.

Price-conscious buyers will find the BROWNING X-BOLT competitively priced at $1008.99, offering value when you weigh the premium features included. View product details and pricing
