With long-range rifle competitions popping up across the country, shooters are putting their equipment through the paces like never before and enjoying the satisfaction when a rifle, optics, ammunition and personal performance come together. One of the biggest competitions is the National Rifle League Production Class. Here, shooters are limited in weight and the modifications they can make to their rifle. Thus, the out of the box features and accuracy of their rifle are paramount. Fortunately for competitors, winning is a specialty of Browning and we’ve developed the new X-Bolt Target Lite MAX. The foundation of this rifle is a stiffer, heavier, full-diameter receiver that helps stabilize the rifle. An alignment flat is machined into the receiver to aid in scope alignment/leveling. The recoil lug is pinned to the receiver to ensure perfect orientation if the barrel needs to be replaced. The included 20 MOA Picatinny optics rail is held in place with four oversize 8-40 screws and an additional steel pin that secures the rail to the receiver. The bolt features a longer handle to reduce opening force.
