Also known as: X-Bolt Pro, X-Bolt Pro McMillan
Overview
The Browning X-Bolt Pro is a premium bolt-action hunting rifle and the flagship of the X-Bolt family. Introduced in 2017, it pairs a fluted, lapped stainless-steel sporter barrel with a threaded, muzzle-braked bore, a Cerakote finish, and a lightweight carbon-fiber stock built over a compressed-foam core. Chambered here in .300 Winchester Magnum, it feeds from Browning's signature rotary detachable box magazine and uses the user-adjustable Feather trigger, a 60-degree bolt throw, a tang-mounted safety with bolt-unlock button, and the X-Lock four-screw scope mounting system for long-range big-game hunting.
