Long-range precision demands a rifle that blends repeatable accuracy, ergonomic control, and practical recoil management. For hunters and precision shooters who need a bolt action rifle built to deliver tight groups and manageable follow-up shots, the right platform makes all the difference.

BROWNING X-BOLT builds on decades of proven Browning designs and adds targeted upgrades that elevate long-range performance and shooter comfort.

Key features that matter in the field

The X-Bolt’s three‑lever Feather Trigger is a standout — a crisp, clean pull with virtually no takeup or creep and minimal overtravel. That kind of trigger consistency reduces shooter-induced error and makes precision work at distance more forgiving. The action is freefloated via front and rear bedding to maintain consistent barrel-to-stock spacing, a detail that improves group-to-group repeatability under changing environmental conditions.

The Max Long Range configuration adds a Max stock with a fully adjustable comb and spacers, allowing shooters to set perfect cheek weld for optics of different heights. Recoil is addressed on two fronts: the Pachmayr Decelerator pad is engineered to deflect forces and pull the comb away from the face, and the Recoil Hawg muzzle brake tames felt recoil and muzzle climb for faster, controlled follow-up shots. The fluted heavy sporter barrel combines thermal stability with weight savings and rigid harmonics for steady accuracy, and the recessed muzzle crown helps protect rifling integrity.

Shop this product to review full specs and confirm configuration options; the X-Bolt Max Long Range is offered at MSRP $1,149.99 and sits squarely in the performance bolt action category for serious shooters.

Safety and handling

Practical safety touches include a bolt unlock button that integrates with the toptang safety to provide an additional safeguard when checking and unloading the chamber. That feature is especially useful for range safety routines and field handling during glassing or stalks where safe unloading is critical.

Who should consider the X-Bolt?

Choose this rifle if you prioritize a tunable stock platform, low‑impulse recoil management, and a precise trigger out of the box. It’s well suited for long‑range hunting and precision target work where repeatable accuracy and shooter comfort go hand in hand.
