The Browning X-Bolt Mountain Pro SPR in 7mm PRC delivers exceptional long-range performance in a lightweight mountain hunting platform. This precision rifle combines advanced materials with proven Browning engineering to handle demanding alpine conditions while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy potential.
What Makes This Different
The Mountain Pro SPR features a fluted steel sporter barrel that reduces weight by 15% compared to standard contours while maintaining thermal stability during extended shooting sessions. The Tungsten Gray Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, rated for 1,200+ hours of salt spray exposure. The carbon fiber reinforced stock weighs 40% less than comparable wood stocks while offering enhanced rigidity and weather immunity.
Key Features
- 7mm PRC chambering delivers 200+ fps velocity advantage over 7mm Rem Mag with modern bullet designs
- 20-inch fluted steel barrel optimizes velocity while reducing overall weight to 6.8 pounds
- Tungsten Gray Cerakote receiver finish resists corrosion and reduces glare
- Carbon fiber stock with accent graphics provides strength-to-weight ratio superior to synthetic alternatives
- 3+1 capacity with detachable rotary magazine for reliable feeding
- Adjustable Feather Trigger system breaks cleanly at 3-5 pounds with minimal overtravel
- Top-tang safety allows bolt operation while engaged for safe unloading
Field performance centers on the 7mm PRC cartridge's ability to maintain energy at extended ranges, making 400+ yard shots on elk-sized game practical with proper bullet selection. The fluted barrel design dissipates heat effectively during multiple-shot scenarios while the short 20-inch length provides excellent maneuverability in thick cover. Weather sealing at critical junction points prevents moisture infiltration during mountain hunts where conditions change rapidly.
