Six and a half Creedmoor has become the go-to round for hunters who want flat trajectory without magnum recoil. This X-Bolt Pro delivers that cartridge in a full-size platform with a 22-inch fluted barrel and quick-detach mount system. Whether you're shooting near Livermore or across the Bay, understanding your local requirements matters—review California firearm laws before your purchase.

Precision barrel design and mounting system

The fluted sporter barrel sheds weight while maintaining rigidity, a feature that matters on longer days afield. The X-Lock mount system provides rock-solid optics placement with repeatable accuracy. Browning's drilled and tapped steel receiver accepts standard rings, giving you flexibility with scope choice.

Frequently asked questions

Does the 1:8 inch twist rate work with all 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition?

The 1:8 twist is built for heavier bullets—it stabilizes 140-grain and above reliably. Lighter match rounds can be shot, though they're not the intended purpose. Most hunting loads perform optimally with this twist.

Is the X-Bolt Pro supplied with scope rings and a base?

The rifle ships with drilled and tapped receiver ready for standard two-piece bases. You'll need to source your own rings and base to match your optic choice.
