Browning's X-Bolt builds on the proven successes of past Browning rifles, and adds numerous improvements. Its adjustable three-lever Feather Trigger system provides a clean, crisp pull with no take-up. The barrel 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 bolt unlock button works in conjunction with the top-tang safety to provide an added measure of safety, while the 60 degree bolt lift is fast cycling and allows you to work the bolt quickly.
The Eclipse Varmint will perform right out of the box. It comes with a Laminate thumbhole stock and raised cheek piece. The fore end is wide and flat on the bottom, for resting on a support. Its heavy bull barrel is threaded for a future suppressor, and comes with a thread protector and muzzle brake. The extended bolt handle makes round chambering easier so you can keep your eyes on the target.
