Key mechanical advantages

The X-Bolt’s three-lever Feather Trigger delivers a clean, crisp pull with no takeup or creep and minimal overtravel. That trigger architecture shortens the time between target acquisition and firing, and reduces shooter-induced error at the shot break.

Action bedding and barrel protection

Bedding the front and rear of the action effectively freefloats the barrel, preserving consistent barrel-to-stock spacing under recoil and environmental changes. A recessed muzzle crown protects rifling from damage, maintaining accuracy potential over long service life.

Recoil management and safety systems

The Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad uses proprietary materials to deflect recoil forces and pull the stock comb away from the face, reducing felt recoil and muzzle climb for faster follow-up shots. The bolt unlock button working with the toptang safety gives an added measure of safety during chamber checks and unloading—useful in both range and field scenarios.
