Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter: Precision Bolt Action Rifle
The Browning X-Bolt series is engineered to build upon established rifle performance, integrating a series of improvements designed for precision and reliability in demanding environments. This Western Hunter model is specifically configured for the challenges of long-range hunting, offering a combination of advanced features and robust construction.
Key Features
Precision Action & Barrel System
The X-Bolt action incorporates a free-floated barrel, achieved through bedding the front and rear of the action. This design maintains consistent barrel-to-stock spacing, directly optimizing inherent accuracy potential. The barrel features a recessed muzzle crown, providing critical protection to the rifling from impact damage, thereby preserving shot consistency.
Feather Trigger System
A proprietary three-lever Feather Trigger system is integrated, engineered to deliver a clean, crisp pull with minimal overtravel. This precise trigger engagement is fundamental for accurate shot placement under varied field conditions.
Ergonomics & Control
The X-Lock scope mounting system ensures a secure and repeatable optics platform. An Inflex recoil pad is installed to mitigate felt recoil, enhancing shooter comfort and facilitating faster target re-acquisition. The bolt features a 60-degree lift, which allows for rapid cycling and provides ample clearance for large optics. This Western Hunter configuration includes a Hard Core Fiber-Fusion stock with an adjustable comb, enabling precise cheek weld optimization across diverse shooting positions and optic setups.
Construction & Finish
The Fiber-Fusion stock features a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish with a spider-webbed texture, providing a durable, weather-resistant surface and a positive grip. All metal components exhibit a matte blued finish, minimizing glare and enhancing corrosion resistance.
Safety & Functionality
A bolt unlock button operates in conjunction with the top-tang safety. This system provides an additional layer of safety during chamber verification and unloading procedures without disengaging the primary safety.
