Key Features
- X-Bolt 2 Action with 60° Bolt Lift — Provides faster cycling and more clearance for oversized scopes, reducing interference during follow-up shots.
- Adjustable Feather Trigger — Lets you dial pull weight from 2.5 to 4.5 lbs without a gunsmith, giving consistent break for long-range precision.
- 26-Inch Sporter Barrel with Recessed Crown — Maximizes velocity potential in the 6.8 Western cartridge while the recessed crown protects rifling from dings during field use.
- Threaded Muzzle (5/8-24 TPI) — Accepts standard muzzle brakes or suppressors to reduce recoil and signature without needing adapter work.
- Detachable Box Magazine (3+1 Capacity) — Enables fast reloads and easy unloading while maintaining a flush-fit profile for hunting or prone shooting.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the long-range shooter who wants a flat-shooting, wind-bucking cartridge in a lightweight platform. You’re the guy who dials elevation for 800-yard steel and still carries a rifle up a mountain for elk season. The 6.8 Western hits hard at distance with less drop than .30-06, and the X-Bolt 2’s accuracy guarantee saves you from bedding and truing work.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box — verified with match ammo at 100 yards.
- Pro: 60° bolt throw clears low-mounted scopes on 20 MOA rails.
- Pro: Cerakote finish resists corrosion in wet conditions.
- Con: Sporter barrel heats faster than heavy varmint contours during rapid fire strings — plan for cool-downs if shooting groups under 5 rounds.
