BROWNING X-BOLT 30-06 First Impressions and SUB MOA GROUP at 100 Yards

Finally decided to buy a new deer rifle. I bought the Browning X-Bolt chambered in 30-06. A 30-06 is a legendary do-all caliber and is a downright deer killer. A 30-06 will do everything I need it to do here in Pennsylvania. This gun recoils LESS than my Savage Axis 308 even WITHOUT the muzzle brake, which blew my mind! I am very pleased with my purchase. I can't wait to shoot this gun more and get some deer with it. I will be posting a long-term review eventually.

Ive owned a xbolt stainless stalker for the last twelve years now and find the trigger pull perfect for hunting , this rifle is the most accurate firearm I've ever owned, my freezer proves that.

@GUNDERMAN Ай бұрын

I personally like the trigger. Can't wait until August to see how it performs on a doe!

I have several X bolts, never been a fan of the factory triggers, I swapped the springs out in all of them for the MCARBO springs and that brought them down to 2.5LBS consistently and only takes about 10 minutes to do. thanks for the videos.

I just bought a new Browning Xbolt Speed Long Range 280 ackley improved. I ordered the new spring for the trigger. Now i have to decide which scope I want. Setting up to shoot out to 600 yds. Looking at a Leupold, Zeiss, Sig, and Vortex . U want a lite trigger for long range. The new spring will let u have a lite trigger. I almost bought a Savage Ultralite 280AI. I was going to order a new Timney trigger for it. Not a fan of Savage triggers.

Nice! I have two X Bolt Speeds, 30-06 and 7PRC. Both are match accurate shooters. I like the factory trigger. When you only practice with one rifle trigger you get good with it. It’s about practice and muscle memory.

@GUNDERMAN 3 ай бұрын

I love the trigger. I honestly don't see why people complain about it. I wouldn't want a hair trigger where soon as you touch it, it goes off.

@phild9813 3 ай бұрын

I have an older x-bolt. I don’t hate the trigger, it is a bit stiff, but it’s not the worst trigger in my safe. My Tikkas are head and shoulders above it though. Perhaps the newer ones are improved.

I own 3 x bolts 270wsm, 30/06 and 7mmprc they all 3 shoot sub moa the 7prc will shoot .3 inch groups as far as the trigger it is a great trigger just too heavy for me but all u need is an mcarbo sear spring they are 12 bucks I set mine at 2.5 pounds factory browning will go to about 3.5 they claim 3 but none of mine would go that low

@phild9813 3 ай бұрын

I did put a Timney in an X bolt one and it was really nice but you lose the bolt lock feature.

@jamesbajcar1689 3 ай бұрын

I've shot this same rifle in 300 win mag and I will say the trigger doesn't suck but it's the only downside to the gun. If you haven't ever shot a gun with a great trigger than it would probably go unnoticed to most people

The triggers on both my XBolts were super heavy. I swapped springs and now they are about 2.5#. My dad’s 30-06 XBolts trigger is around 4# at the lightest adjustment. All very crisp but super heavy from the factory.

@keithgunderman1283 3 ай бұрын

I tried the trigger on the X Bolt my brother just got. I honestly think it's too light. 4# trigger if you're lucky on his gun from the factory.

@Matt-en1kn 3 ай бұрын

Yea the mcarbo spring all 3 of mine are set at 2.5 also

@jasonscott5043 Ай бұрын

You say recoil doesn’t bother you but watching your head pop straight up after every shot speaks otherwise. Probably explains fliers. Put the break back on.

What grain bullets are you shooting ?😊

Federal Fusion 180 Grain. This was the first and only ammo I shot so far in my browning so far. I'm impressed with the results. This summer I will be testing out different brands and grains of ammo for this gun!

What is the barrel threading of this gun? The X bolts are not the typical 1/2x28 or 5/8x24 etc ?

@GUNDERMAN 19 күн бұрын

I don't know anything about threaded barrels. It's all new to me but on browning website says threading is M13 - 0.75 whatever that means lol

Sexy looking rifle is this the suppressor ready version? Let me know if you want to sell that brake mine has the cheap radial brake which does nothing.

I just bought the gun so didn't get to use it hunting much. Took it out few times for red tags in PA. So far so good. Gonna do an actual review of the gun once I get more time with the gun and some deer on the ground

@desertdog1125 u would not be disappointed I own 2 in the same exact rifle and 1 older x bolt in a blued barrel the 2 in cerekote are deadly accurate and have held up well the one with the blued I actually stripped it down and had it cerekoted I 100% recommend these rifles. If u like a light trigger make sure and get a mcarbo sear spring because the triggers are great but on the heavy side

@@erikleirmo9147the xbolt is superior in almost every category. I own a tikka tho and cannot complain but they are not the end all be all like people make them out to be. They have limited COAL, slow twist rate, 2 position trigger, and a lot of plastic parts. Also the xbolt is more comfortable. Trigger is the biggest difference which can be fixed with a 15 dollar spring. Xbolt has better safety features, better stock ergonomics , flush mag, shorter bolt throw, m16 extractor which I think is the best, and just as accurate in most cases. It’s a lot easier to get an Xbolt worked on. Beretta USA is HELL to deal with.
