The Browning X-Bolt 4-round rotary magazine delivers reliable feeding and quick reloads for hunters and precision shooters using short action rifles. This black polymer magazine fits 308 Winchester, 7mm-08 Remington, and 243 Winchester chamberings, providing versatility across multiple hunting scenarios and target applications.
What Makes This Different
The rotary design eliminates traditional spring-loaded followers that can jam or bind under field conditions. Unlike standard box magazines, the rotary mechanism guides cartridges smoothly into the chamber without tilting or nose-diving. The polymer construction weighs 40% less than steel alternatives while maintaining structural integrity through temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F.
