Design and Feeding System

The BROWNING X-BOLT uses a detachable rotary magazine constructed from a durable, lightweight polymer. The rotary magazine feeds cartridges directly in line with the bolt for a straight path right into the chamber, which reduces feed angle and mitigates tilting that can cause malfunctions. That straight-line feed is an advantage in noisy environments or when fast follow-up shots are required.

Short Action Performance and Caliber Compatibility

This short action model offers a compact bolt throw and quicker cycling. It is explicitly compatible with 270 WSM, 7mm WSM, 300 WSM, and 325 WSM cartridges. The WSM family delivers magnum-level velocity in a short action length—beneficial for flatter trajectories and retained energy at distance—making the BROWNING X-BOLT suitable for medium- to large-game applications where a compact action and high-performance cartridges are preferred.

Why the Caliber Choices Matter

Choosing a WSM caliber tunes the rifle toward higher velocity and a shorter overall action length compared with traditional magnums. For hunters seeking a balance of compact handling and ballistic performance, the calibers listed for this model provide versatile options for different terrain and game.

Finish, Fit, and Value

The burnt bronze cerakote finish on this short action model gives corrosion resistance and low-reflectivity aesthetics ideal for field use. As a Browning product available in various configurations, this offering balances heritage engineering with contemporary materials. The listed price of $47.99 is shown on the product page for the specific stocked item; verify the exact configuration prior to purchase.
