    X-Bolt Max LR 300 PRC

    I recently purchased an X-Bolt Max LR chambered in 300 PRC, according to Browning it is their standard long action. However as I am trying to mount my base rail, a Leupold Backcountry Cross slot base, the X-Bolt LA doesn’t fit it. Has anyone else had this issue or am I missing something?

    Thread Pitch for X-Bolt Hell’s Canyon Speed 300wsm

    Just picked up a Hells’s Canyon in a 300wsm. When I got home I tried to replace the muzzle break with a Silencer Co ASR for one of my cans and it didn’t fit. I assumed it would be a 5/8x24 thread pitch but I was wrong. Does anyone know what the thread pitch is on this rifle so I can get the...

    Custom Barreled 325 WSM Browning BLR

    I've been looking into Browning BLR rifles for several years now and somehow just discovered that they used to make the BLR in .325 WSM. I think that cartridge would be perfect for the BLR. Unfortunately, Browning no longer makes the BLR in that cartridge, and it seems that the ones they did...

    Experiences Rebarreling Browning X-Bolt and Winchester Model 70 CRF

    I'm looking at buying my next hunting rifle. I currently have a .270 Mossberg Patriot, so I'm looking to step up the cartridge to either a .300 PRC or a .325 WSM to "more adequately" deal with larger game. I like three-position safeties (or at least a two position that locks the bolt) due to...

    Browning Xbolt 7mm RM only groups well when hot

    I bought a browning xbolt 7mm RM about a year ago. I have never really been able to get it to shoot consistently. I’ve tried lots of different factory loads and none have grouped well. Hornady, federal, nosler. I started working up a load for the gun and in the last month have found a couple...

    Browning X-Bolt Hells Canyon Speed vs. Sauer 100 Atacama, in 6.5 PRC

    Looking at purchasing a new 6.5 PRC, after a bit of research, my top contenders are a Browning Hells X-Bold Hells Canyon Speed and a Sauer 100 Atacama. Both rifles are around that 1k price point and all the reviews that I have seen show that both rifles should have no problem shooting sub-inch...

    Gun Cleaning Question

    I currently have 3 browning X-Bolts, all of which I cleaned using a basic hoppes cleaning kit. After I completed the cleaning I went online, and discovered all of the hate about the 3 piece rods, and not using a bore guide. My questions is, 2 of my guns are wooden stock, 1 is synthetic. I have...

    Browning XBolt or Sako85 for new LRH Build

    New to LRH Forum - I have the opportunity to purchase (lightly used) either a SAKO Finnlight85 or a Browning Xbolt SS in 300 WSM. Sako has a 1:11 twist barrel (not good for the heavier bullets) and Browning has a 1:10 twist. Excellent price on either - So a deal I could not pass up. Planning...

    Long range all around western rifle

    Hey everybody. So I'm looking to buy a rifle that is a good all around long range hunting rifle. Something that can reach out 1000 yards and kill am elk with confidence. But also a gun I would mind taking a pronghorn with. I'm looking to buy one stock, not build. Right now I'm looking at the...

    Suggestions on build - browning ab2 - light palma - stock options?

    I'm building a long range rig on a Browning A-Bolt II long action and I'm having a little difficulty with the stock options. I plan for this to be an heirloom rifle and I want it right, even if a little odd. Let me say that I'm building the Browning because I think it's a very well made bolt...

    Help choose next pack rifle (3 options)

    **Can't change the title but based on some awesome feedback from you guys, I added the Barrett Fieldcraft to the list** I have decided that I need to add a light weight pack rifle to my safe. I'm going to be getting rid of a couple 8+lb (scoped) rifles to make room for the new addition. I...

    X Bolt Max Long Range Hunter

    Thoughts? https://www.browning.com/products/firearms/rifles/x-bolt/current-production/xbolt-max-long-range-hunter.html Browning continues their trend of offering fast twist factory rifles. Personally wish 338 RUM was an option. 8.5 pound fast twist rifle with a brake and an adjustable cheek...

    6.5 PRC Magazine Option

    I'm going to skip the "is 6.5 PRC worth it" discussion, since for me it is... I don't reload. So for those of us looking for magazine-fed options, rather than BDL-style floorplates, here's one. I have two X-Bolts in 6.5 Creedmoor, and love them. I've never had any of the magazine-related...

    Need advice on rifle

    First: thanks in advance for listening... So I need some advice. I currently have two Browning X-Bolts. One a Hunter in .308 Win and one a Long Range Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor. Both have the same action and trigger, the '08 has a 22" sporter barrel and the 6.5 a 26" threaded "heavy sporter"...
