Browning X Bolt Stalker Long Range Lead

For 2023, Browning has introduced its new X-Bolt Stalker Long Range (LR), designed specifically for long-range shooting, featuring a high-strength steel receiver, heavy sporter contour barrel, removable muzzle brake, removable magazine, top-tang thumb safety, extended bolt handle and composite stock with an adjustable comb.

The X-Bolt Stalker LR is a great rifle choice for hunting in all weather conditions, as the stock is made from durable, composite material that can take a beating. It is textured for a secure grip from forearm to pistol grip, and has a comfortable palm swell. This long-range model also includes an adjustable comb system that makes it easy to place your eye in correct scope alignment with larger, long-range optics.
