Browning's New X-Bolt

[rkm456]

Late to the party, but they've got some nice looking offerings:

Caliber offerings for the Max Long Range include 6 and 6.5 Creedmoor, 7mm RM, 300 Win Mag, 300 RUM, 308, 300 WSM, and most interestingly 26 and 28 Nosler. The Target McMillan A3-5 loses the 300 WSM and 300 RUM.

Doesn't really look like a heavy profile barrel on these......

Not a bull barrel but it looks like a fairly heavy profile... probably all that length will handle...

 

[Buckmastr]

Good looking rifles, should shoot well too

 

[quarterman]

They look pretty good

Thanx Guntech. My bolt gun interests are only heavy barrel related. Definitely sharp looking rifles.

I have built a lot of heavy barrels but long length puts a lot of weight forward and you need to weight the butt for balance... many of the heaviest (against my recommendation) came back later for weight reduction...
