Browning X-Bolt Max Varmint Bolt-Action Rifle – .223 Remington | 24″ Barrel
£1,170.00
The Browning X-Bolt Max Varmint Target is a precision-focused bolt-action rifle built for shooters who demand match-grade performance straight from the box. Chambered in .223 Remington with a 24″ fluted stainless steel bull barrel, this is a serious long-range varminting and target rifle that combines Browning’s proven X-Bolt platform with a purpose-designed heavy profile barrel and fully adjustable stock — all at a price point that significantly undercuts custom alternatives.
The match-grade stainless steel bull barrel is both fluted — reducing weight while maintaining rigidity — and threaded at 1/2″-28, making it immediately compatible with the wide range of UK-legal moderators available to FAC holders.
Accuracy is further secured by the free-floating barrel, bedded at both the front and rear of the action for maximum stability and consistent barrel-to-stock spacing shot after shot. The three-lever Feather Trigger is factory set for a crisp, clean break with minimal take-up, directly contributing to the tight groups this rifle is capable of producing at extended range.
The matte black Max stock is purpose-designed for precision disciplines, featuring an adjustable comb, length-of-pull spacers, and a vertical grip that promotes a natural, repeatable hand position ideal for bench and long-range field shooting. The Inflex recoil pad absorbs residual recoil effectively, keeping follow-up shots fast and comfortable during extended range sessions.
The 60° bolt lift allows rapid cycling without disturbing your sight picture, and the extended bolt handle makes operation smooth and instinctive even from a supported shooting position. The detachable rotary magazine feeds reliably and strips cleanly, while the X-Lock scope mount system — featuring four screws per base — provides an exceptionally stable, zero-shift optic platform that serious long-range shooters will immediately appreciate. The top tang safety with bolt unlock button allows safe chamber checking and unloading without fully disengaging the safety.
