About the Browning X-Bolt Hells Canyon Speed
The Browning X-Bolt Hells Canyon Speed is a bolt-action hunting rifle built on Browning's X-Bolt platform, distinguished by its Burnt Bronze Cerakote-finished receiver and barrel paired with an A-TACS AU camouflage composite stock. Chambered here in 6.5 Creedmoor, it features a free-floated fluted sporter barrel with a threaded and removable muzzle brake, a 60-degree bolt lift for rapid cycling, a four-round detachable rotary magazine, and the adjustable three-lever Feather Trigger. The X-Lock four-screw scope mounting system and Inflex recoil pad round out a rifle marketed toward Western big-game and long-range hunters.
Named after the rugged Hells Canyon on the Oregon-Idaho border, the deepest river gorge in North America, the rifle's Burnt Bronze and arid camouflage scheme was tailored to Western mountain and open-country hunting.

This is a variant of the Browning X-Bolt.
