Overview
The Browning X-Bolt Max Long Range is a bolt-action precision rifle designed for long-range shooting and hunting, featuring a 26-inch heavy-sporter contour fluted stainless steel barrel with threaded muzzle and included muzzle brake. The rifle is built on Browning's proven X-Bolt action with a 60-degree bolt lift, adjustable Feather Trigger, and a Max composite target-style stock with adjustable comb height and length of pull for optimal shooter fit. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 Winchester Magnum, and several other long-range calibers, the X-Bolt Max LR uses Browning's detachable rotary magazine system and delivers consistent accuracy for both competition and field use. The button-rifled barrel with target crown and 5/8x24 threaded muzzle ships with both a muzzle brake and thread protector.

The Max composite stock features a target-style profile with a wide, flat forend for sandbag shooting. Browning rifles are manufactured by Miroku in Japan. MSRP is approximately $1,300-$1,500.
