Does anyone have any experience with this rifle? There’s about zero info out there… and the aftermarket support for browning is lacking. But for the price they look very tempting. Disregard the caliber choice in the link, I’m not set on any one yet.

Search results for: 'Browning X-Bolt Max SPR'

grabagun.com grabagun.com

For reference I already own a couple of tikkas and a RAR.

Looking for any input and first hand experience, thanks in advance!

That seems like a great price to me. It looks like same stock as the X Bolt Long Range Max, just a shorter barrel.

I’ve been very content with the stock it comes with. I also think the trigger, upgraded with an M Carbo spring is great. I put a Timney in mine, but will be selling it.

Awesome. Thank you!
 
I was so tempted by one in 7 PRC with a 20” barrel on MidwayUSA but eventually resisted the urge. It was 7.7 lbs.

Yeah that’s a hesitation of mine as well… wondering how much of that is in the stock as that may be remedied once stockys makes their xbolt stocks.
 
That seems like a pretty cool option. i've never fondled one in that config but I like my stainless stalker xbolt.

I wonder if that fore end is as flexible as the sporter stock.. that's a good price.

Yeah shorter threaded barrel and the stock looks decent, if it doesn't flex very much that would be a bonus. And for some reason I keep telling myself I need a 7 PRC. Of course I could build another Tikka as well, but the price on this vs. the Tikka route is a substantial difference. And I already have a couple of Tikka RSS's.

@onlybrowning , does your stock have a lot of flex at the forend? Any other con's you can think of other than the trigger (which seems like just a spring will help a lot)?

No, but I did bed mine. I’m not sure that it needed it, but I did it. When I did, the barrel had some contact, so I hogged it out, then filled it with bedding compound (JB Weld) just for appearance sake and I am ok with it being heavy. I don’t ever intend to carry it to hunt.

I find it to be a very comfortable, well designed stock. I have a KRG Bravo on a Tikka that I wish felt more like the Browning stock (this is not a slight on the KRG Bravo at all)). The stock is comfortable and adaptable.

$532 for that gun (with rebate) is nuts.

Tempting, just don’t have a need/use for it..

Agreed, hard to find any reviews. However there's been some good feedback on here from users like @Darryle and @onlybrowning who have similar models. Like gypsy said, I think at the current pricing I'm going to jump on one even if I don't need it.

Yeah i believe this price will be hard to beat, looks like the rebate is offered through July 7th
 
I ordered a 6.5 PRC version, pick it up tomorrow, $629 - the $75

Wished I would have ordered 2 at that price.

BattleHawk Armory and Grab a Gun have routinely beat everyone on price.
 
I’m thinking of buying one just for the action to build a semi custom off of. I don’t need one, but that doesn’t seem to stop most of us.
