Browning teamed with McMillan on a stock that bench shooters and long-range hunters respect. The X-Bolt 2 Pro McMillan is a bolt-action rifle in .300 Winchester Magnum with a gray finish.

A McMillan stock is a carbon-fiber design known for stiffness, stability and light weight. It helps hold a zero when the weather swings from cold mornings to hot afternoons. The X-Bolt 2 action brings a refined trigger and a smooth bolt. Together they make a rifle built for placement of shots at long range. Test your chosen ammunition before you trust it in the field or for carry, and stick with what runs well. A little practice every month beats a long session once a year.

The .300 Win Mag is a heavy hitter for elk, moose and distant targets. It also finds use on long-range steel. For Carolina hunters who stay in the Piedmont, it is more than you need, but for those who travel west or target shoot far away, it fits.

Premium rifles like this come with premium prices. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer, where the background check is done at pickup.
