The Browning X-Bolt platform provides a proven foundation for precision long-range applications. The Western Hunter Long Range variant integrates specific enhancements to facilitate consistent accuracy and operational reliability in field conditions. This rifle builds upon established Browning engineering principles, incorporating design refinements to elevate performance for extended-range engagements.
Key Features
Precision Foundation
The X-Bolt action is meticulously bedded at both the front and rear to ensure consistent interface with the stock, maintaining barrel-to-stock spacing. This configuration optimizes barrel harmonics for enhanced shot-to-shot consistency. The recessed muzzle crown protects the rifling from impact damage, preserving accuracy over time. The three-lever Feather Trigger mechanism delivers a crisp, consistent pull, facilitating precise shot placement. Integration with the X-Lock scope mount system provides a robust and repeatable optics mounting solution.
Barrel & Muzzle System
This model features a 26-inch stainless steel sporter contour barrel, fluted to mitigate weight while maintaining rigidity. The barrel is finished in Matte Blued for corrosion resistance. A removable muzzle brake is standard, designed to attenuate felt recoil and muzzle rise, enhancing follow-up shot capability and shooter comfort during extended range sessions.
Stock System
The Hard Core Fiber-Fusion stock is engineered for rigidity and stability, critical for long-range accuracy. Finished in a Flat Dark Earth Cerakote with a spider webbed texture, it provides a durable, non-reflective surface. An adjustable comb system allows the shooter to precisely tune eye-to-scope alignment, optimizing ergonomics and reducing strain. The stock is configured for right-hand operation and features a full-size profile.
Action & Operation
The high-strength steel receiver provides a robust core for the rifle. The bolt unlock button, integrated with the top-tang safety, allows for safe chamber unloading while maintaining the safety engagement. The 60-degree bolt lift facilitates rapid cycling, reducing the likelihood of scope interference. An extended bolt handle provides enhanced grip and leverage. The rifle is equipped with an Inflex recoil pad, engineered to absorb and redirect recoil energy away from the shooter, further contributing to comfort and control. Feeding is managed via a reliable removable magazine system.
