Jus curious if anyone has one of the X Bolt Hells Canyon Browning rifles in 300WinMag or similar caliber and what your thoughts are. I am considering this as my long range option. I have always been a fan of the Ruger M77, I own several. they are a tough all around gun and I love ‘em but ****it those X bolts are pretty! I’m just looking for help justifying the price tag I suppose hahaha.Any help or comments either way is appreciated.

While I don’t have any issues with the Browning, I’d think twice just due to the aftermarket support. Triggers and stocks are my main concern, and if you really want to play at long range you’ll start looking to replace both. Bergara isn’t as sexy, but they just plain shoot. Also have the added benefit of a 700 footprint, which arguably has the largest aftermarket selection available by a long shot.

I have the browning hells canyon 300. Very nice rifle trigger isn’t the best for that $. For a little less $ you can get a Bergara and put more $ towards a scope.
The browning western hunter (if available in 300 I didn’t look) is a very nice rifle I have it in 264 win.

Thanks for all the feedback, I’m not in any big hurry but I will definitely be giving the Bergara a 2nd look. I personally am used to the triggers on the Ruger M77 and don’t have a lot of experience with the higher end aftermarket triggers so It maybe one of those don’t know what your missing situations ! Hahah Again thanks to all of y’all for the feedback
