A top tier hunting rifle. Browning is delving into semi-custom rifle production with the new X-Bolt Pro. What classifies the X-Bolt Pro as a "semi-custom rifle" is the level of specialized finishing touches and higher end construction above the already top-tier X-Bolt family of hunting rifles. First, the X-Bolt Pro features a true carbon fiber stock, making it extremely lightweight and rigid. The stock is filled with a noise-dampening foam.
Cerakote durability. Additionally, the Cerakote finish on the action and barrel is also on the exterior of the stock for added protection. The burnt bronze hue mutes the color of the stock for better concealability. The barrel features a new proprietary lapping process to provide consistent accuracy and easier bore cleaning - avoiding the need for a time-consuming break-in process. Other features include a spiral fluted bolt, enlarged bolt handle, and a threaded muzzle with a muzzle brake or thread protector cap.

Caliber Dictionary

Introduced in 2016, the 30 Nosler is the third of Nosler's growing family of proprietary cartridges, following the 26 and 28 Nosler. Like its predecessors it is based on the .404 Jeffery/Remington Ultra Magnum case with a rebated rim and 2.55-inch case allowing it to be housed in a .30-06-length action. Americans love their .30-calibers and certainly there is no shortage of fast .30-caliber magnums, but with its fat, unbelted case the 30 Nosler has acquired an excellent reputation for accuracy and efficiency. With a 180-grain bullet at 3110 fps the 30 Nosler is similar in performance to the .300 Weatherby Magnum...meaning that it is suited for hunting the full range of non-dangerous game just about anywhere in the world. Because of its modern, efficient case design it has found favor with the growing group of long-range riflemen. — Craig Boddington
