About the Browning X-Bolt Composite Stalker
The Browning X-Bolt Composite Stalker is a bolt-action hunting rifle built on Browning's X-Bolt platform, featuring a lightweight black composite stock with Dura-Touch Armor Coating, a free-floated and target-crowned sporter-contour barrel, a glass-bedded matte-blued steel receiver, and the adjustable Feather Trigger. It uses a detachable rotary magazine and a 60-degree short-throw bolt with three locking lugs, and was offered in a wide range of chamberings from .223 Remington up to magnum calibers.
The X-Bolt succeeded Browning's long-running A-Bolt series, introducing the Feather Trigger, an X-Lock four-screw scope mounting system, and a detachable rotary magazine that seats flush with the stock.
