The Browning X-Bolt Pro (Browning part no. 035602299) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.8 Western and built around a fluted sporter barrel finished in a non-reflective matte blued metal treatment, paired with a lightweight carbon fiber stock that helps the rifle weigh in at just 6.1 pounds. The 24-inch barrel is threaded M13x.75 under a Recoil Hawg muzzle brake that Browning rates for up to a 76 percent reduction in felt recoil, with a thread protector included for anyone who prefers to run the rifle without it. Checkering on the stock and swivel studs round out a rifle built to carry light and shoot flat with one of the newest short-magnum cartridges on the market.
