The Browning X-Bolt Pro Long Range is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.8 Western, built around a 26-inch fluted barrel with a 1:7 twist rate and a fixed McMillan Game Scout stock in Sonoran Carbon Ambush Camo. At 6.12 lbs, it's light for a rifle this long, which matters on extended field work.

Detailed Features: 

The fluted 26-inch barrel keeps weight down while maintaining rigidity for consistent long-range accuracy. The 1:7 twist is cut for the heavier bullets 6.8 Western is designed around. Browning's adjustable Feather Trigger can be set for a light, clean break without gunsmithing. The Recoil Hawg muzzle brake noticeably cuts felt recoil for a magnum-class cartridge. No iron sights are included. The X-Lock scope mount is the intended optic interface, and it's a solid system. 
 

Usage: 

6.8 Western is designed for long-range big game hunting, with terminal ballistics that compete with larger magnums at reduced recoil. The 26-inch barrel extracts full velocity from the cartridge. This is a hunting rifle first, though the trigger and accuracy make it viable at the range as well.

Owners of the X-Bolt Pro LR in 6.8 Western are generally positive, with accuracy and build quality drawing the most praise. The 26-inch barrel and tight chamber produce consistent groups at distance, which is the main reason buyers choose this configuration. The McMillan stock fits well for most shooters and the ergonomics hold up during extended sessions.

The 6.8 Western chambering gets favorable mentions specifically for big game, good terminal performance without the excessive recoil of larger magnums. The Recoil Hawg brake is effective, though loud enough that ear protection is non-negotiable.

The criticisms that come up consistently are price and weight on the trail. At 6.12 lbs bare, it's relatively light for a 26-inch rifle, but add a scope and rings and it climbs noticeably. Some buyers also note that aftermarket stocks and accessories are less available compared to more mainstream bolt-action platforms. A few early owners reported a break-in period before groups settled, which isn't unusual for a tightly-throated precision barrel.
