“The accuracy is very good and I am happy I went the 300 Win Mag way as ammo is a bit easier and cheaper to get if you look for it. The kick isn’t really bad with the pad and brake on it, so I was pleased with that having had 3 surgeries on my shooting shoulder. And for most hunters, this makes for a phenomenal purchase.Ĭustomer Review on the 300 Win Mag: “The weight is nice and light for the length of barrel, but I knew what I was getting into.
Lots of thoughtful components have gone into the X-Bolt, but safety and accuracy have been built into the series since 2008. This means you can keep the gun on safe, press the Bolt Unlock button, and easily unload your gun without being in fire mode. The safety feature on the X Bolt is another piece that puts it in a unique category, with the ability to unlock the bolt being on the bolt itself. This gets super nerdy, and if you wanna nerd out, Browning has a great film on it. With the X-Bolt ($969-999), you can adjust Browning’s proprietary chrome-plated three-lever Feather Trigger to a custom feel from 3-5 pounds. And if you’re looking to punch up within your budget, this is a great place to stretch up another tier. Though Browning does make the AB3 Series at an even more affordable price point, the X-Bolt Series offers a leveled-up shooting experience for under $1,000 to start.
This is a great rifle.” -Christopher V.Ĭheck Price at Sportsman’s Check Price at Bass Pro Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter The feel of the stock in my hand, even with gloves, is rock solid. Both shoot sub-MOA with Federal Premium factory loads. Best out-of-the-box trigger I have ever felt. I bought the 30-06 and my son bought the 308.
