Specs at a glance
About this product
The Browning X-Bolt Pro LR in 6.5 Creedmoor delivers sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, skipping the wait and cost of custom builds. Built for long-range shooting and hunting in Utah’s varied terrain, this rifle balances weight, stiffness, and recoil management.
The Browning X-Bolt Pro LR in 6.5 Creedmoor is designed to perform right away. It combines a heavy-contour, lapped and fluted barrel with a free-floated action to achieve consistent, repeatable accuracy – often under one MOA – without requiring aftermarket upgrades. The finish is a durable carbon-gray Cerakote, and the rifle features a carbon-fiber stock that reduces weight without compromising rigidity, making it suitable for both demanding target work and hunting in Utah’s mountains.

Key Features
- Lapped & Fluted Barrel — Each barrel is hand-lapped for uniform bore consistency, and then fluted to shed weight and improve heat dissipation. This provides consistent accuracy without the added bulk of a full bull barrel.
- Carbon-Fiber Stock with Bedding Block — The carbon-fiber stock, paired with a full-length aluminum bedding block, delivers rigidity and keeps the action locked in place. This minimizes flex when using a bipod, maintaining point of impact consistency.
- Adjustable Trigger — The three-lever Feather Trigger is adjustable between 2.75 and 4.5 pounds, offering a crisp and clean break for precise shot placement.
- Recoil Brake — Browning’s Recoil Hawg muzzle brake significantly reduces felt recoil, allowing for quicker follow-up shots and easier spotting of impacts.
- Spiral-Fluted Bolt — The spiral-fluted bolt reduces friction and efficiently clears debris, with a 60° throw for fast operation.
Who It’s For

It’s also a solid choice for hunters in Utah who prioritize a lightweight, accurate rifle for challenging terrain. The carbon stock keeps weight down, while the muzzle brake makes it more comfortable to shoot.
