X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Long Range .26 Nosler 26" Barrel A-TACS AU (Arid/Urban) Camouflage, Cerakote Burnt Bronze finish
For the hunter that doesn't shoot less than a 20 round box of ammo each year. Do you shoot all year long and love the sound of lead hitting steel at over a thousand yards away? Do you put in hours behind the trigger, practicing the fundamentals of marksmanship and learning to read the wind? Do you like the option to choose between established and proven cartridges as well the newest non-belted magnums that offer superior ballistic coefficients and velocities in a standard length action? This is the rifle for you.
Built on the most popular X-Bolt rifle ever, the Hell's Canyon Speed, the Hell's Canyon Long Range takes the same winning features and adds a heavy sporter contour barrel for increased long range accuracy. You still get all the features that made the X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Speed a best-selling and game-changing rifle : Exclusive A-TACS AU camouflage - an advanced camouflage comprised of micro and macro patterns to add concealment in depth from varying distances of perception.
DuraTouch Armor Coating - a superior stock coating and camouflage medium, DuraTouch also provides a superior grip and feel in hot and cool temperatures, whether it's wet or dry.
Burnt Bronze Cerakote - originally developed as an automotive component finish to provide enhanced cooling, Cerakote is a superior non-reflective and corrosion-resistant coating in high demand for custom grade firearms. The receiver, barrel, and exposed surface are of the bolt are all coated for an extremely appealing look that enhances function and durability.
Fluted barrel - not a new concept, yet far from being a standard feature on hunting rifles, barrel fluting reduces the weight of the barrel, increases the exposed surface area of the barrel (reducing barrel heating), and increasing the rigidity of the barrel.
Threaded muzzle brake/Suppressor ready - a time-tested feature to tame the recoil of magnum calibers and all but eliminate the kick of more mild calibers, allowing shooters to observe downrange impacts. Included with the rifle is a thread protector so you can remove the muzzle brake without risking damage to the threads. The threaded barrel makes it that much easier to attach a sound suppressor, an increasingly popular safety trend in big game hunting.

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.
Introduced in 2014, the 26 Nosler was the first SAAMI-standardized cartridge to bear the Nosler name, and part of Nosler's growing family of proprietary cartridges that now include 22, 28, 30, and 33 Nosler. The 26 Nosler and all except the 22 Nosler are based on the .404 Jeffery or Remington Ultra Mag case necked down and shortened to fit into a .30-06-length-action. The 26 Nosler is a 6.5mm, bullet diameter .264-inch. Although recently surpassed by the 6.5-.300 Weatherby Magnum, upon introduction the 26 Nosler was the world's fastest 6.5mm cartridge, propelling a 140-grain bullet at 3300 fps, thus greatly exceeding the old .264 Winchester Magnum and the newer 6.5mms such as the .260 Remington, 6.5mm Creedmoor, and 6.5-.284 Norma. The 26 Nosler is overbore capacity, limiting powder selection and barrel life, but it is a flat-shooting and hard-hitting cartridge ideal for mountain game and suitable for elk and moose.
