The Browning X-Bolt Pro SPR in 6.8 Western delivers precision shooting performance with advanced materials engineering. This bolt-action rifle combines a lightweight carbon fiber stock with a fluted steel barrel for enhanced accuracy and reduced weight during extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
The X-Bolt Pro SPR features Browning's signature three-lever Feather Trigger system, delivering a crisp break consistently rated at 3-5 pounds. The Carbon Gray Elite Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, while the fluted sporter barrel profile reduces weight by approximately 8 ounces versus standard contours. The 6.8 Western chambering offers 25% more energy than .270 Winchester at extended ranges.
