The Browning X-Bolt Mountain Pro Long Range chambered in 6.8 Western is purpose-built for extended engagement distances, integrating proven design principles with advanced material science to deliver consistent, repeatable performance. This iteration of the X-Bolt platform refines established Browning rifle architecture, providing a robust and precise tool for the discerning long-range shooter.
Key Features
Precision Engineering
The rifle incorporates the X-Bolt’s three-lever Feather Trigger system, engineered to provide a clean, crisp break with negligible take-up or creep, and minimal overtravel. This contributes directly to shot-to-shot consistency. The action is free-floated, secured by bedding at both the front and rear to establish a stable interface between the barrel and stock, mitigating potential harmonics and maintaining consistent barrel dynamics. A recessed muzzle crown is integrated to protect the barrel’s rifling from incidental contact damage, thereby preserving long-term accuracy potential. The 26-inch barrel is spiral fluted and precision lapped, further optimizing bore concentricity and reducing weight while maintaining rigidity.
Recoil Management
The integration of the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad, featuring proprietary construction and material, facilitates a directional deflection of recoil forces. This system actively directs the stock comb away from the shooter’s face, effectively reducing perceived recoil and mitigating muzzle climb for faster follow-up shot acquisition. Further recoil attenuation is provided by the factory-installed Recoil Hawg muzzle brake, designed to effectively dissipate gasses and reduce felt impulse.
Ergonomics and Durability
The Mountain Pro Long Range variant features a robust carbon fiber stock, optimized for weight reduction without compromising structural integrity, and finished with accent graphics. This material choice contributes to the rifle’s overall balance and carry characteristics in varied field conditions. Metal components receive a Tungsten Gray Cerakote finish, enhancing resistance to corrosion and abrasion while providing a low-maintenance exterior. A top-tang safety is complemented by a bolt unlock button, permitting safe chamber inspection and unloading procedures while the primary safety remains engaged, enhancing operational security.
