The X-Bolt Hunter pairs a 22-inch sporter-contour barrel with a matte blued steel receiver for a balanced, field-ready .308 Winchester platform. It is a right-hand, short-action rifle with no installed iron sights, set up from the factory for the X-Lock mounting interface.
The stock is satin-finished walnut with cut checkering and a straight comb. Sling swivel studs are installed, and a recoil pad provides a measured length of pull at 13.5 inches.
Controls and safety details include a tang safety, a bolt unlock button that allows cycling the action on safe, and a cocking indicator. The single-stage, gold-colored trigger provides a clean break consistent with the X-Bolt line.
Feeding is via a detachable, flush-fitting rotary magazine with a 4+1 capacity. The rifle uses the X-Lock four-screw-per-base scope mounting system; two-piece bases are installed, along with 1-inch Leupold rings for straightforward optic setup.
Manufactured by Miroku in Japan for Browning in 2012, this rifle bears factory markings including "PAT. PENDING X-BOLT CAL. .308 WIN ONLY." and "Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah — Made in Japan / Miroku."
