The Browning X-Bolt Pro Long Range in 6.8 Western delivers exceptional accuracy for extended-range shooting applications. This precision rifle combines advanced materials with proven X-Bolt action reliability to achieve consistent sub-MOA performance at distances beyond conventional hunting ranges.
What Makes This Different
The skip-fluted heavy barrel profile provides superior heat dissipation while maintaining rigidity during rapid-fire sequences. Carbon fiber stock construction reduces overall weight by 12-15% compared to traditional synthetic alternatives while offering enhanced vibration dampening. The Recoil Hawg muzzle brake reduces felt recoil by approximately 30% and minimizes muzzle jump for faster follow-up shots.
