Stock advice/ opinion

[Reemty J]

I have a Browning Xbolt pro in 6.5 PRC and I do not care for the browning stock too skinny, I would like something more in line like a Mcmillian game warden 2.0 or LR but they do not make it for a browning Xbolt. Any ideas what else there is that would be comparable. Mcmillian said they could make a stock but it would be 8 months out. Thanks!

Bell&Carlson or maybe HS Precision? I know both these are usually on the "thicker" side but not sure if they make for the xbolt.

 

[74honker]

My bad. I just looked at both sites and nothing for the Xbolts at either place.

McMillan has a short and long action X-bolt stock in their ready to ship category right now.

7STWnut thank you, nice catch, I grabbed it.

Sure thing! Let me know how you like it, I need to grab one myself.

I hope you like it, I did the same thing and really like the replacement stock.

You did exactly what I did BTW, got a McMillan pre-inlet replacement for my X-Bolt Long Range. Huge upgrade, I was on the edge of saying scrap the barrel but the new stock and a bed job saved the rifle. Runs out to 1500 on steel like a boss, my brother got his first 1000+yard hits with it before I even bedded it.
