Key Features
- OVIX Stock with Inflex Technology — The stock is molded from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer with a raised cheekpiece and adjustable length of pull. Why it matters: It reduces felt recoil by up to 30% compared to a standard stock, keeping you on target for follow-up shots.
- Spiral-Fluted Heavy Barrel — A 26-inch, 1:8 twist barrel with spiral fluting for weight reduction and faster cooling. Why it matters: The fluting sheds heat 15% faster than a non-fluted barrel, maintaining accuracy during extended strings of fire.
- X-Bolt 2 Action with 60° Bolt Lift — The bolt lift is short and smooth, with a three-lug design that provides 60 degrees of rotation. Why it matters: It allows faster cycling and leaves more room for a scope-mounted thumb, especially in cold weather.
- DLX Trigger Guard with Magazine — A detachable box magazine holds 3+1 rounds and is flush-fit with the stock. Why it matters: Reloads are quicker than loading from the top, and the flush design keeps the rifle snag-free in brush.
- Cerakote Burnt Bronze Finish — The barrel and receiver are coated in Cerakote Burnt Bronze. Why it matters: This finish resists corrosion and scratches better than blued steel, ideal for wet or rocky terrain.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who wants a dedicated long-range setup without the weight of a custom chassis. It suits shooters who need consistent sub-MOA accuracy at 500 yards for elk, mule deer, or target work. It’s also a solid pick for the new hunter moving past a budget rifle into a premium, purpose-built tool.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent out-of-box accuracy (tested 0.75 MOA with Hornady ELD-M), low recoil for a magnum cartridge, adjustable stock for proper cheek weld, Cerakote finish holds up well, spiral fluting keeps weight manageable for a 26-inch barrel.
- Cons: The OVIX stock does not have a full-length aluminum chassis, so it may flex if you use a bipod with heavy tension. Also, the 3-round magazine capacity is limited for competition use.

FAQ
What is the twist rate of the barrel?
The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 120 to 160 grains in 6.5 PRC, including the popular 143-grain ELD-X.
Does this rifle come with a scope base?
No, it does not include a scope base or rings. The receiver is drilled and tapped for X-Bolt 2 pattern bases, which are widely available from brands like Talley and Leupold.
Is the stock adjustable for left-handed shooters?
The stock is right-handed only, with a cast-off for right-handed shooters. Left-handed shooters should look at the X-Bolt 2 Left Hand models.
Can I use standard 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition in this rifle?
No. The 6.5 PRC chamber has a larger case head and different shoulder angle. Do not attempt to fire 6.5 Creedmoor or any other cartridge in this rifle.
What is the minimum barrel break-in procedure?
Browning recommends firing one shot, then cleaning the barrel for the first 10 rounds. After that, clean every 20 rounds during the first 100 rounds. This helps the barrel settle and improves accuracy.
