Browning X-Bolt Western Hunter Long Range Bolt Action Rifle .270 Winchester 26" Barrel (1)-4Rd Magazine OVIX Camouflage Stock Matte Blued Finish
The vast deserts, broad canyons and high peaks of the West ask a lot from a hunter their equipment. A rifle, specifically, must be highly accurate and capable of making longer shots where closing the distance with a stalk may be impractical. The Browning Western Hunter LR is built for all of the tasks that go along with stalking big game in bigger country, and does it all at an amazing value.
The proven X-Bolt action is both lightweight and strong. The sporter contour barrel is belled to 5/8''-24 suppressor-ready threading and free-floated. A recoil reducing radial muzzle brake is included. The bolt features a longer handle for easier operation.
The sporter-style, composite stock is lightweight and makes for a consistent, reliable foundation for an accurate rifle. A height-adjustable comb makes aligning your eye with your scope simple, even with long range optics. Highly versatile OVIX Camo adds concealment to help blend into the many landscapes the West has to offer.

The 270 Winchester was introduced in 1925 in the Winchester Model 54 bolt-action, forerunner to the Model 70. Based on the 30-06 case necked down, it was the first production cartridge to use a .277-inch bullet. Why this bullet diameter was chosen is not clear. The intent, however, was to create a cartridge that shot flatter than the 30-06 and produced less recoil. This effort was so successful that the 270 Winchester remains the world's most popular 270 cartridge...and since 1925 only three other commercial cartridges have used this bullet diameter. With a 130-grain bullet at 3060 feet per second and a 150-grain bullet at 2950 the 270 is powerful and flat shooting. It is adequate for game up to elk, ideal for virtually all American deer hunting, and, as it's long-time champion, gunwriter Jack O'Connor, so often wrote, it is a marvelous choice for mountain hunting. It is a standard chambering for almost all rifle makers, and choices in factory loads run into the many dozens. — Craig Boddington
