The Browning X-Bolt Hunter Composite delivers precision hunting performance in the proven 30-06 Springfield caliber. This bolt-action rifle combines advanced engineering with practical field features for hunters demanding accuracy and reliability in varied conditions.
What Makes This Different
The X-Bolt action features a true short-throw 60-degree bolt lift with three locking lugs, providing faster cycling than traditional 90-degree systems. The free-floating barrel and adjustable Feather Trigger system deliver consistent sub-MOA accuracy potential. Browning's Inflex Technology recoil pad reduces felt recoil by up to 50% compared to standard pads.
