The X-Bolt builds on past Browning rifles, and adds numerous improvements that place the X-Bolt at the top. The X-Bolt's new three-lever Feather Trigger provides a clean, crisp pull with no take-up or creep and minimal overtravel. The X-Bolt is free-floated by bedding the front and rear of the action for stability and to help maintain barrel to stock spacing for consistent accuracy. A recessed muzzle crown helps protect the rifling from damage. The Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad has proprietary construction and material to promote a directional deflection of recoil forces, pulling the stock comb away from your face to reduce felt recoil and muzzle climb. The bolt unlock button works in conjunction with the top-tang safety to provide an added measure of safety during checking and unloading of the chamber. The X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Long Range features an A-TACS AU camo finish, burnt bronze cerakote metal finish, and fluted barrel. Included is a muzzle brake.

The 280 Remington Ackley Improved (280 AI) is an "improved" or blown-out verions of the 280 Remington, meaning the chamber is enlarged so that cane body taper is remove, increasing powder capacity and thus increasing velocity. Just one of dozens of wildcat cartridges developed by Parker O. Acklely during his long career, it has progressed into factory chamberings. With its staight case and sharper shoulder the unbelted 280 AI is capable of velocity very close to the 7mm Remington Magnum, but retains the smaller case (and thus magazine capacity) of the 280 Remington. Like most "improved" cartridges it is safe to fire 280 Remington cartridges in a 280 AI chamber; there is some loss of velocity due to case expansion, but this is the normal process by which 280 AI cases are fire-formed for reloading. — Craig Boddington
