Isn't a Hell's Canyon just a cerakoted xbolt?
I believe so.
This also gives me pause.
I can always send it in to have it cut shorter and threaded but that'll cost me $100 plus shipping both ways so negates the great deal somewhat. At least I'd have a nice box for it already I guess. If it were only proper threading there wouldn't be any extra cost.
The hells canyon models have a updated stock or break. Also thinner barrel. I’ve never had an issue with an a bolt or x bolt not being an amazing shooter. My ABolt stalker still gets used despite owning a Barrett and other more expensive offerings. But that 30-06 is probably my go to if I want a bigger caliber and some range.
I think they all have that. My old Hell's Canyon 300 WSM was m13 also. Sold it when I started shooting suppressed. Barrel was fluted so couldn't cut and rethread.
Might be model specific or maybe newer models are updated. My 22-250 xbolt speed SR is threaded in 1/2.
Could be. I did a quick search and all the xbolt 2 and newer stuff I found was 5/8 or 1/2 depending on caliber, probably why these are getting cleared out cheap.
I agree. I borrowed a muzzle device from my neighbor and it was off of his xbolt. Threaded 1/2"
10 twist on the x-bolt .243 although Browning has been very good at offering faster twists on some classic calibers. Meanwhile, Tikka which along with Sako has traditionally been stuck with traditional twists, offers the .243 with an 8 twist. Go figure.
