Overview
The Browning X-Bolt Pro chambered in 6.8 Western is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle designed for precision in big game hunting scenarios. This model integrates advanced materials and refined manufacturing processes to deliver consistent performance and robust field utility.
Key Features
Carbon Fiber Stock Construction
The X-Bolt Pro features a true carbon fiber stock with a natural finish. This construction methodology prioritizes weight reduction without compromising structural rigidity. The stock is internally filled with noise-dampening foam, mitigating acoustic signatures in the field and enhancing overall shooter interface during recoil impulse. The fixed design ensures consistent mounting.
Precision Barrel System
This rifle incorporates a 24-inch matte blued, fluted Sporter contour barrel. The fluting optimizes heat dissipation during sustained firing schedules and contributes to a balanced rifle profile. The matte blued finish reduces glare, critical for maintaining concealment. The barrel is suppressor-ready (SR) with M13x0.75 muzzle threading, allowing direct attachment of the included Sporter Recoil Hawg muzzle brake or a compatible suppressor. A thread protector is also supplied.
Integrated Recoil Management
Recoil mitigation is addressed through the synergy of the Sporter Recoil Hawg muzzle brake and the Inflex Technology recoil pad. The Recoil Hawg is engineered to significantly redirect propellant gases, reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise, thereby facilitating faster follow-up shot acquisition. The Inflex pad systematically absorbs and redirects recoil energy away from the shooter’s face, enhancing comfort and shot consistency.
X-Lock Scope Mounting System
The blued steel receiver is factory drilled and tapped, integrating the robust X-Lock scope mounting system. This system utilizes four screws per base, providing superior optic stability and maintaining zero integrity under dynamic field conditions, critical for long-range precision.
Feather Trigger System
The three-lever Feather Trigger system provides a crisp, precise break with minimal overtravel. This design ensures consistent trigger pull characteristics, directly contributing to repeatable shot placement and overall shooting accuracy.
Operational Efficiency
The spiral-fluted bolt design reduces bearing surface area within the receiver, promoting smoother cycling and mitigating the accumulation of debris. This enhances operational reliability in varied environmental conditions.
