Browning X-Bolt Hell's Canyon McMillan LR - 28 Nosler - 26.0" - OVIX Camo:

This X-Bolt is no ordinary rifle and it is not for the ordinary hunter. Putting the proven X-Bolt action into a McMillan Game Scout stock offers the long range shooter a platform so solid you now can concentrate on ammo and your skills to achieve maximum accuracy.

McMillan stocks are U.S. Marine proven tough and the Game Scout gives the X-Bolt shooter a sporter-style stock with tactical long-range features. This exceptional stock features a medium-sized fore-end with straight comb buttstock that offers a smooth transition for shooters who want a compact hunting stock with tactical stock features. It also features a comfortable vertical pistol grip with thumbshelf. The stock is fitted with two quick-detach (QD) cups for a sling, plus it has a single front swivel just for a bipod (not included). Textured panels on the fore-end and pistol grip offer a great feel. It is finished off with a dip in versatile Browning OVIX camouflage.

Browning OVIX Camouflage
This innovative design creates a consistent pattern of concealment that is suitable for a variety of environments. The optimized color pallet creates high contrast break-up at close range. At greater distances the shapes blend together to create a natural mirage. The combination of atmospheric optics with white light color scattering creates the essential background for this revolutionary camouflage pattern.

X-Lock Riflescope Mounting System
The X-Lock system uses four screws per base, replacing the traditional two-screw system. The benefits are obvious, with the scope bases being secured at all four corners rather than only held at the center of the base. This allows for more accurate placement of the bases on the receiver. This revolutionary X-Lock system holds the base tighter to the rifle than ever before.

Feather Trigger
The X-Bolt's new three-lever Feather Trigger provides a clean, crisp pull with no take-up or creep and minimal overtravel. The trigger is screw adjustable from 3 to 5 lbs. and factory pre-set at approximately 3 1/2 lbs. An alloy trigger housing contains the hard chromed steel components that are highly polished on all critical contact surfaces. Precise engagement angles mean the X-Bolt Feather Trigger feels light and right and stays that way through many thousands of rounds.

Recoil Hawg Muzzle Brake
The Browning Recoil Hawg ranks among the most effective muzzle brakes available. It reduces muzzle jump to keep your target in the scope and has been shown to reduce recoil up to 76% (depending on the caliber). Specially designed directional porting blows gases up and to the sides to minimize dust signature.

28 Nosler:

The 28 Nosler is a 7mm (.284) caliber, rebated-rim centerfire rifle cartridge designed by Nosler. Introduced in 2015 and approved by SAAMI on January 19, 2015. The 28 Nosler is based on the 26 Nosler which was released in 2014. The 28 Nosler shares the same overall cartridge length (3.340) as the 26 Nosler which allows it to be chambered in standard-length action. This feature helps weight-conscious sportsmen to lighten their load before venturing into the backcountry. The cases overall length also aid in quick follow-up shots, since the bolt throw is shorter than on a magnum action.

The name 28 Nosler refers to the first two digits in the caliber (0.284) of the bullets that the cartridge fires and the name of the company which created it.

The 28 Nosler cartridge case can be formed by necking-up or expanding the neck of a 26 Nosler case to 7mm (.284) diameter. The cartridge case for both the 26 and 28 Nosler is based on the 404 Jeffrey case

Suggested Use:

  • Deer (long range)
  • Black Bear (long range)
  • Sheep / Goat (long range)

  • Buffalo / Bison

Performance:

The 175-grain 28 Nosler has a muzzle velocity of 3,125 fps. The 160-grain cartridge boasts an muzzle velocity of 3,300 fps.

To give some context, at 160-grains the 28 Nosler is around 300 fps faster at the muzzle than one of the most popular round in the caliber the 7mm Remington Magnum.
