Browning X-Bolt Pro 6.8 Western 24" Carbon Fiber Rifle 3+1

The Browning X-Bolt Pro in 6.8 Western delivers precision long-range performance with advanced materials engineering. This rifle combines the flat-shooting 6.8 Western cartridge with carbon fiber construction for reduced weight without sacrificing accuracy.

What Makes This Different

The X-Bolt Pro features a fluted carbon fiber barrel that reduces weight by 30% compared to traditional steel barrels while maintaining thermal stability. The Carbon Gray Elite Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance and durability over standard bluing. The 6.8 Western cartridge offers 200 fps more velocity than .270 Winchester with comparable bullet weights, extending effective range significantly.

Key Features

• 6.8 Western chambering for flat trajectory and long-range performance
• 24-inch fluted carbon fiber barrel with 4.49-inch length of pull
• Carbon Gray Elite Cerakote finish on barrel and steel receiver
• Black carbon fiber stock with textured grip surfaces
• 3+1 capacity with detachable rotary magazine
• Adjustable Feather Trigger system factory set at 3-5 pounds
• Right-hand configuration with 60-degree bolt throw

Field testing shows the X-Bolt Pro consistently delivers sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition. The carbon fiber barrel heats up slower than steel during rapid fire sequences, maintaining accuracy longer. The bolt operates smoothly in adverse weather conditions due to the receiver's machined tolerances and Cerakote protection. Hunters appreciate the reduced carry weight during extended stalks while maintaining the rigidity needed for precision shots.
