2017’s Best Hunting Gear: The Year’s Top 10 Firearms and Loads

X-Bolt Pro

Browning touts its new X-Bolt Pro as a “semi-custom rifle.” With a light and rigid carbon-fibre stock, this bolt-action weighs in at just a hair over six pounds. The barrelled action is Cerakote finished, while the fluted bolt includes an enlarged bolt handle for easy cycling. A brake-ready threaded muzzle is standard on the 22-inch barrel. Look for the Pro in the popular 6.5 Creedmoor.
