About the Browning X-Bolt Medallion
The Browning X-Bolt Medallion is a bolt-action hunting rifle introduced in 2008 as part of Browning's X-Bolt line. The Medallion trim pairs a gloss-finished, checkered Grade I black walnut stock with rosewood grip cap and fore-end tip and an engraved, polished-blued steel receiver. It features a free-floated sporter barrel, the adjustable three-lever Feather Trigger, a smooth 60-degree bolt lift, and Browning's detachable rotary magazine. Chambered here in .30-06 Springfield, it is a refined all-around big-game rifle.
The X-Bolt replaced Browning's long-running A-Bolt in 2008, introducing the free-floated barrel, X-Lock four-screw scope mounting, and the rotary magazine that became signatures of the line.
