Hands-On Reviews & Related Post

final verdict

The Browning X-Bolt packs quite a few quality features in a rifle that can be found for well under $1000. In a world where polymer and rails are seemingly everywhere, it is refreshing to see a quality blued and walnut rifle. The lines of the rifle combined with the Inflex recoil pad helps ensure that the gun is pleasant to shoot regardless of caliber. The short bolt lift minimizes interference with any scope that is mounted, and a quality trigger helps squeeze out the excellent accuracy that the rifle is capable of. Details like the bedding of the stock and the quality of the bluing and the wood really make the X-Bolt feel like a premium rifle.
