Browning X-Bolt Pro 6.5 PRC 24 in Carbon Fiber
$1,567.19
The Browning X-Bolt Pro 6.5 PRC 24 in Carbon Fiber is a lightweight, sub-MOA production rifle with a fluted barrel, spiral-fluted bolt, and adjustable Feather trigger — built for long-range hunting and steel.
The Browning X-Bolt Pro 6.5 PRC 24 in Carbon Fiber is a production-ready long-range hunting rifle that shaves weight without sacrificing precision. Chambered in the high-BC 6.5 PRC, it pairs a 24-inch fluted Sporter barrel with a carbon-fiber stock filled with noise-dampening foam. The spiral-fluted bolt and three-lever Feather trigger give you consistent lock time and sub-MOA potential out of the box. At 6.5 pounds bare, this rifle is built for mountain carries and steel at distance.

Key Features
- 24-inch fluted Sporter barrel — Reduces weight and improves heat dissipation; the fluting also adds stiffness for consistent harmonics during cold-bore shots.
- Spiral-fluted bolt — Cuts mass for faster cycling and reduces rotational inertia, letting you run the action smoother on follow-ups.
- Three-lever Feather trigger — Adjustable pull weight with zero creep; breaks clean at your preferred setting, giving you a predictable release at the moment of sear engagement.
- Noise-dampening foam in carbon-fiber stock — Absorbs handling noise and reduces echo in the field, keeping you stealthy when stalking game or repositioning on a barricade.
- Threaded muzzle (M13x0.75) with Sporter Recoil Hawg brake — Ready for suppressors or brakes; the included brake cuts felt recoil significantly, letting you spot your own impacts in the 6.5 PRC.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the precision-minded hunter who demands a lightweight rig that prints sub-MOA groups at 600+ yards. If you’re shooting steel in the backcountry or taking long-range shots on mule deer, the X-Bolt Pro gives you a production rifle that competes with custom builds — without the wait or the price tag.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight makes it ideal for high-country packs.
- Pro: Threaded barrel accepts most 6.5 PRC suppressors or brakes.
- Pro: Adjustable trigger breaks clean with no take-up.
- Con: The carbon-fiber stock is stiff but lacks an adjustable cheek riser — you may need a cheek pad for tall scope mounts.

FAQ
What twist rate does the Browning X-Bolt Pro 6.5 PRC barrel have?
The 24-inch fluted Sporter barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes heavy 147-156 grain bullets commonly used in 6.5 PRC handloads and factory loads like Hornady ELD-X.
Is the Browning X-Bolt Pro 6.5 PRC compatible with aftermarket triggers?
Yes, the X-Bolt Pro uses a standard X-Bolt trigger interface. You can drop in a Timney X-Bolt trigger or adjust the factory Feather trigger from 3 to 5 pounds without any gunsmithing.
Can I suppress the Browning X-Bolt Pro 6.5 PRC?
Yes. The barrel is threaded M13x0.75 and ships with a thread protector. Use a direct-thread suppressor or a muzzle brake with the same thread pitch. The included Sporter Recoil Hawg brake reduces recoil by about 30%.
What is the magazine capacity of the Browning X-Bolt Pro 6.5 PRC?
It uses a detachable box magazine with a 3-round capacity. You can also buy extended 5-round magazines from Browning for more capacity in the field.
