The Browning X-Bolt family has grown from an excellent hunting rifle into a sprawling X-Bolt 2 lineup covering lightweight mountain guns, long-range rigs, carbon-fiber builds, and almost everything between.

The $529 Glenfield Model A looks every inch like a budget hunting rifle, but our 6.5 Creedmoor test gun punched out .78-.92 inch groups with its favorite ammunition and went 120 for 120. Ruger’s revived Glenfield name may be cheap where it can be, but this rifle puts the important money in the right places.

Lightweight, compact, AR-mag compatible, and wearing a 16” threaded barrel, the Ruger American Ranch 300 BLK checks nearly every box for a suppressor host. Add a 0.8″ best group and whisper-quiet subsonic potential, and this little bolt gun starts making a lot of sense.

The PTR-91 puts the HK G3’s roller-delayed Cold War muscle back in your hands, complete with hard-running reliability, excellent iron sights, flying brass, and accuracy that still earns respect at 100 yards.

The Savage 110 RF Elite Precision takes the full-size Model 110 concept into .22 LR with serious competition hardware, a clever reversible bolt throw, and impressive accuracy. After two months of range work and varmint hunting, the bigger question is whether all that performance is enough to justify its $2,399.00 MSRP.

The Ruger 10/22 has spent 62 years turning new shooters into lifelong rimfire addicts. We tested a factory Carbine and a custom build to see why this simple .22 LR still refuses to surrender its crown.

The 22 Creedmoor launches heavy .224 bullets fast, shoots brutally flat, bucks wind, and delivers almost no recoil. This former wildcat has become a serious option for predators, PRS competition, long-range steel, and even deer-sized game.

Ruger’s new $749 Harrier ran flawlessly and delivered sub-MOA best groups with every load tested. The trigger needs help, but this affordable, mil-spec-compatible AR-15 shoots like it has something to prove.

The Browning X-Bolt Speed SR pairs a handy 20-inch suppressor-ready barrel with the hard-hitting 7mm PRC, then backs it up with repeatable sub-MOA accuracy at 100 and 300 yards.
