The Browning X-Bolt platform represents an evolution in bolt-action rifle design, integrating numerous enhancements for optimized field performance. This X-Bolt Mountain Pro variant is engineered to deliver consistent accuracy and reliability in demanding conditions.
Key Features
Feather Trigger System
The X-Bolt incorporates a proprietary three-lever Feather Trigger. This system is designed to provide a clean, crisp trigger pull, eliminating take-up, creep, and minimizing overtravel. This contributes directly to shot consistency and precision.
Free-Floated Barrel Configuration
The barrel is free-floated, with the action precisely bedded at both the front and rear. This bedding strategy stabilizes the action and maintains consistent barrel-to-stock spacing, which is critical for mitigating external influences on barrel harmonics and sustaining accuracy across varying environmental conditions.
Recessed Muzzle Crown
A recessed muzzle crown is integrated to protect the barrel’s rifling from potential damage due to impact or abrasion. This design element preserves the critical terminal edge of the rifling, ensuring projectile stability upon exit and maintaining long-term accuracy potential.
Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pad
Equipped with a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad, this rifle utilizes a proprietary material and construction method. This design facilitates a directional deflection of recoil forces, effectively pulling the stock comb away from the shooter’s face. This mechanism demonstrably reduces felt recoil and minimizes muzzle climb, allowing for faster follow-up shot acquisition.
Bolt Unlock Safety
An integrated bolt unlock button functions in conjunction with the top-tang safety. This design provides an additional layer of operational safety, permitting the chamber to be checked or unloaded while the primary safety remains engaged.
Mountain Pro Enhancements
The Mountain Pro model elevates the X-Bolt platform with several performance-oriented features:
- **Carbon Fiber Stock:** A lightweight yet rigid carbon fiber stock features accent graphics, providing a stable shooting platform.
- **Cerakote Finish:** Metal components are finished with a Tungsten Gray Cerakote, offering enhanced corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments.
- **Spiral Fluted & Lapped Barrel:** The barrel is spiral fluted for weight reduction and increased surface area for cooling, and factory-lapped to optimize bore consistency and precision.
- **Recoil Hawg Muzzle Brake:** A Recoil Hawg muzzle brake is installed to further mitigate recoil and muzzle rise, supplied with a thread protector for user preference.
