At Shot Show 2022, Browning announced their X-Bolt Target Max<\/a>. While incorporating MAX adjustability, this new X-Bolt features a stiffer, heavier receiver, adjustable target trigger, extended bolt handle, fluted stainless steel barrel, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The X-Bolt Target Max is available in 6MM Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 308 Winchester all with fluted 26″ stainless steel bull barrels that are suppressor-ready using 5\/8″-24 threads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming with a Recoil Hawg muzzle brake, recoil is very light straight from the factory. Incorporating a front Picatinny rail on the bottom of the forearm, this rifle is ready to pair with many of today’s precision rail-mounted bipods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best features for long-range shooters is the stiffer, heavier, full-diameter receiver. This provides more rigidity to aid in a very precise overall package. The receiver features a machined flat that can be used for squaring and truing the muzzle brake and reticle to the rifle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another useful feature is a pinned recoil lug to ensure repeatable orientation if the barrel is ever replaced. Sporting a black Cerakote, the X-Bolt Target Max should be able to handle whatever harsh elements are thrown its way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring a patent-pending Browning Target Trigger, users have the option to adjust the pull weight from 2 to 3.3 pounds. This rifle ships with one MDT 10-round polymer mag, and feeds into Browning’s new Xtra Capacity Magazine System.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting a couple of strings of fire through this rifle, it had no problem slapping a 4″ hostage steel target at 100 yards. While this is no real test of precision, this rifle handled it without issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using an oversized bolt handle allows for more torque and easier operation of the rifle. Included is a Picatinny rail “installed with four oversize 8-40 screws and an additional steel pin that secures the rail to the receiver. The pin acts as a recoil lug to prevent the rail from shifting.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I was only able to shoot the X-Bolt Target Max, Browning also announced the release of four other X-bolt variants based on finish, caliber, and chassis configuration. Sharing many of the same internal features, these options give consumers individualized customization straight from the factory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Browning said that the X-Bolt Target Max should be shipping and available in the second quarter of 2022. With an MSRP of $1,669, this will be a rifle to keep your eyes on. For those who would like to read more, details are listed over on Browning’s website<\/a> HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
