I've got last year's version in 6.8 western, extremely accurate rifle.

How’s the ammo selection?

Joseph what a great review. I think you just showed me my next rifle. I have been a fan of Browning's X-bolt. I love the upgrades and changes. You did an excellent job of explaining the new features and their benefits. I also loved that you were able to show it in a 6.8 Western. That is the gun that is on my Christmas wish list. I think you have got to love the 6.8 Western. The 270 has always been one of my favorite hunting cartridges and the improvement of the 6.8 Western are right in line with the precision rifle/caliber upgrades. Great podcast/video. Thanks for sharing.

Just ordered an x bolt max long range FDE in 6.8

Indeed!

Nice. Good overview. Have been owning brownings for over 50 years. Shotguns and rifles. Abolt medallions in 2506 and 270, blr in 7-08. Im really interested in the 6.8 western. When ADG gets brass out fot it, I’ll jump in. Thx for the vid.

Congratulations... 😁

Back in the mid eighties, I bought a Browning A-Bolt in 280 Remington. Early on I didn't like the amount of blood shot meat the factory 139gr caused. So, I developed a load with the 160gr Sierra GameKing at 2700fps that I could drive tacks with. From small Deer to the large Red Stag, and most everything in between, this rifle and load still serves me well today. Thanks for the great review on this new Browning. However, I think I'll just wait a bit to replace my old A-Bolt. Maybe someday......lol

Pretty hard to beat those early A-Bolts!

Pretty awesome new feature set. I really like the new Varitech stock and how configurable it is and still looks great. This too would be my model of choice as well I just wish they had a left hand version and was chambered in 300 WSM instead of 300 PRC (which makes no sense in a short barrel rifle). Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this beauty. 🤠

Hava an xbolt hells canyon SR in 6.8W. Run a Trash Panda on it. 1/2 MOA with 175 TGK Browning load and just under MOA with 165 ablr load. Super combo of cartridge and rifle!

Nice. I’ve go hells canyon in 6.8 western!! Love it !! Under an inch at 100 with 175 sierra game king!

Great overview!

Very nice rig. Need to look into one myself.

Great informative review, really enjoying the channel, do they chamber it in .280AI a personal favourite, as my adoptive grandpa would like to say, "what'll do a lot, will do a little" keep the great videos coming, cheers from the UK.

Thank you for the review.

Will you do a review on the savage 110 hunter? I’ve been searching for months for an affordable 280ai and that appears to be the only cheap option (other than the axis which have mixed reviews).

Is it a push feed or a controlled f round feed bolt?

@longstar550

18 күн бұрын

That's push feed.

Would like one in 280AI with the 1 in 8 twist barrel.

Are the barrels cold hammer forged or button rifled?

Not at all! I shot three-shot groups, waiting no time between shots, and let the barrel cool for 2 to 5 minutes between groups. Shot great.

Can you top load this rifle ?

I am hoping to score a deal on an old one.

1.047 inches, but for practical purposes you can just say 1 inch.
