Browning X-Bolt Eclipse Target 6.5 Creedmoor 28" HB T-Hole Laminated Wood Stock
Varmint rifle, fluted bull barrel, muzzle brake, suppressor threaded, extended bolt handle, thumbhole grip, raised cheekpiece,
Total Accuracy. If you're looking for a "project" rifle, that you will spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars accurizing, then this ISN'T the rifle for you. The X-Bolt Eclipse Varmint rifle will perform right out of the box. You don't need to add a better trigger, bed the action, free float the barrel... all of that has been done.
Built for function. It comes with a Laminate thumbhole stock and raised cheek piece. The fore end is wide and flat on the bottom, for resting on a support, be it sandbags from the bench, or a backpack in the field. The heavy bull barrel is threaded for a future suppressor, and comes with a thread protector and muzzle brake. The extended bolt handle makes round chambering easier so you can keep your eyes on the target.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced by Hornady in 2008. Uniquely, it was designed for accuracy with long-range competition in mind. Using a 308 Winchester (30 TC, 300 Savage) case shortened to 1.920 inches, it will feed through the shortest existing bolt actions, but remains supersonic to well beyond 1000 yards. Standard velocity is a 140-grain .264-inch bullet at 2820 fps, also making it an effective but mild-recoiling medium-range hunting cartridge. The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced with little fanfare, but after it started winning matches shooters took notice. This is an unusual phenomenon for a cartridge to suddenly "take off" years after its introduction, but that's the story of the 6.5 Creedmoor--after about 2016 it became one of the most-talked-about cartridges, with both rifle and ammunition offerings expanding rapidly.
