The Browning X-Bolt Hunter Composite delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability in the powerful 300 Winchester Short Magnum chambering. This bolt-action hunting rifle combines a weather-resistant stainless steel barrel with a lightweight composite stock for optimal performance in demanding field conditions.
What Makes This Different
The X-Bolt action features a three-lever Feather Trigger system that provides a crisp, clean break with minimal overtravel. Unlike traditional hunting rifles, the X-Bolt incorporates a free-floating barrel design that enhances accuracy by eliminating stock contact pressure points. The detachable rotary magazine system allows for smooth feeding while maintaining a low profile that won't snag on brush or gear.
