Browning recommends the use of ammunition
by Browning and Winchester
80 years after the invention of the B 25, with the Cynergy, Browning has created yet another revolution in the world
of over-and-under shotguns. Years of research and testing have been required for developing this reliable, highperformance, elegant shotgun. Three years after the birth of the Cynergy sport, Browning takes much pride and
pleasure in announcing the birth of the Cynergy hunting gun, so that all hunters can benefit from the technology and
ballistic performance of a shotgun that is unique.
The Cynergy is:
- The lowest action frame on the market: 60 mm;
- A modern design;
- The fastest second barrel: 0,0019 s ;
- High-performance steel-shot tested Back-Bored Magnum barrels.
The low action frame with its integrated hinge gives this incomparable gun exceptional balance and incredible
strength. Just to prove it, the Cynergy’s action frame is guaranteed for ten years.
Shouldering the Cynergy is aperfect, fluid, rapid movement; comfort when firing is exceptional, you are in line with
a weapon that has virtually no recoil, and the muzzle flip between two shots is so low that the second shot is even
faster. The Cynergy is also a model of aesthetics, both modern and attractive, a novel design characterised by its smooth
flowing lines, a slim silhouette.
The Cynergy’s single trigger action will give a sensation that you have never experienced before; incredibly fast, crisp
shooting, in fact the fastest in the world. Thanks to the special firing mechanism on this shotgun - in a class of its own
– the time between first and second shots is only 0.0019 seconds, against 0.0031 for our leading competitors.
The Cynergy is now available as a hunting gun, in calibre 12 Magnum with a steel or light alloy action frame and in
calibre 20 Magnum with a steel action frame. The Cynergy hunting gun’s extremely elegant lines are set off by the
quality of its grade 3, oil-finished wood, but also by the hunting scene engravings on its nickel-plated action frame.
The Cynergy back-bored barrels also let you fire high-performance steel shot cartridges.
Cynergy Hunter Light Grade 4 12M

This stylish version of the Cynergy Hunter has been made in the famous Italian engraving
workshop Giovanelli. Another feature of the gun is that its stocke and forend are all made from a
single block of Grade 5 American walnut.

The B525 is above all a symbol of perfect mechanics that are impossible to fault. From the
forged-steel action-frame to the wide flat bolt passing via the massive hinge pin or the barrels’
chromed bores, everything on this gun is strong, incredibly reliable and made to give you the
same excellent performance season after season. Semi-traditional manufacture of this gun
explains this impeccable quality. The world of hand-made construction reigns over this shotgun,
which is assembled a first time – in a dummy run – before being polished, engraved, hardened
and then re-assembled. At every assembly operation, contact surfaces are checked using red
ochre on both metal and the wood and then hand-filed for perfect fitting. It is this attention for
detail, this quest for perfection and for honouring gunsmiths’ traditions, that gives the B525 its
well-justified reputation for long life. The B 525, the fifth generation of Browning’s over-andunder hunting gun built on the basis of the famous B25, all of Browning’s history and tradition
combined together in a single shot-gun. Browning, The Best there is.
Heritage Hunter12M
Here is Browning’s new top-range over-and-under hunting gun. The Heritage is the direct descendent of the side-plated B 25 and has inherited all its elegance. The engraving on its action-frame is a
creation by Cesare Giovanelli, the Italian master who has trained most of the top engravers today. The
stock is made from carefully oil-finished top-quality walnut. With its rounded half-pistol stock and its
tulip fore-end, this shotgun pays real homage to the B25, of which it is a worthy cousin. The Browning
Heritage is luxury and reliability available to all.

B525 | The best performing and most reliable range
Setting the standard
When you buy a Browning B525 you are not only buying the heritage and experience
of over 80 years of renowned excellence, you are also buying a shotgun that is the 5th
generation of the legendary B25. The Browning B525 is a more than worthy descendant
of this legendary shotgun and like the B25, the Browning B525 has set the standard since
its inception in 2003.
The Browning B525 is the product of reference in the ‘world of Over and Under shotguns’
since then as:
• The best performing and most reliable shotgun in its price range
• Renowned for its exceptional manufacturing quality with each and every shotgun being
hand crafted
• Offering a wide range of options to meet all shooters needs whether sporting or hunting
1 | The best performing and most reliable range
2 | Hand crafted for guaranteed looks and performance
3 | Hand fitted creating the best there is
One of the many unique qualities you will find, like the B25, is that all Browning B525’s
are perfectly balanced allowing you to consistently perform well whether shooting clays
or game. The balance of each gun is perfected by its hand crafted nature making each
gun a true individual.
The B525 is so well balanced that when in your hands, you’ll forget that you are holding
a gun as it becomes an extension of ‘you’ enabling you to fully concentrate on your target
whether game or clay.
The Browning B525 is not industrially produced but instead each gun is made individually
with its own set of unique components going from one gunsmith to the next as the gun
is literally hand crafted using each gunsmiths years of knowledge and skill. It takes over
4 months to make a Browning B525 as there is so much individual attention paid to the
build of each gun.
The Browning B525 is the only shotgun on the market in its price range that offers
so many different options and is hand crafted to produce an individual shotgun of
such exceptionally high quality that will precisely fit its owner and deliver Browning’s
renowned reliability and durability.
This time proven method of manufacturing is different to all others on the market as our
highly skilled gunsmiths rely on their own expertise and craftsmanship to build your B525
resulting in a totally unique shotgun with no interchangeable parts with other B525’s.
It is said that our gunsmiths give each B525 ‘a little bit of their life’ making it an individual
so that all the elements of the shotgun fit together tightly and securely so that each B525
performs as you would expect time after time.
During every stage of manufacture total care is taken to make a shotgun that sets the
standard for all shotguns which includes finely adjusted trigger pull weight to meet our
specified range for optimal performance.
Browning’s gunsmiths take their time when making a B525. This is the only shotgun on
the market at this price level that is hand fitted during production to such a high standard
with this level of attention making each shotgun truly unique.
Each and every B525 uses the patented
action frame made from indestructible
forged steel using Browning’s unique
wide diameter hinge pin that guarantees strength and resistance to wear. So
sure of this system that Browning provides a 10 year warranty for the action frame of
each and every gun. The B525 hinge pin provides an exceptionally smooth opening and
closing motion - you can literally feel the gun close securely each and every time.
All Browning barrels and chambers are made from Chromium Molybdenum steel which
is highly resistant to corrosion, as long as they are maintained correctly and ensure easy
maintenance after a day’s shooting. High performance steel shot can be used in each and
every B525 fitted with Invector chokes. The B525 is totally reliable using an impact hammer
ejector system. The B525 is totally reliable and will never let you down especially if you are
in the thick of the action.
30
Traditional red ochre is used to check that the fit between the action and barrels is perfect.
This method is the best traditional method to ensure an exact fit between all the wood
parts and metal parts is achieved. It literally allows the gunsmith to see inside the gun.
And where needed adjustments are made by hand one by one to ensure that the Browning
B525 sets the standard for all other shotguns.
The attention to detail in the making and fitting together of each and every Browning B525
is unique just like the ‘Browning feeling’ as the locking pins meet when you close your gun.
It makes such a reassuring perfect sound willing you to want to go and shoot.
Hunting
4 | A choice of wood grades and stock options
5 | Safety
6 | Engravings to suit your budget or requirements
Each stock is made using specially selected walnut sourced from renewable forests in
Europe and a choice of grades are available from grades 2, 2.5, 3, 4 and 5.
The grade of walnut used on your Browning B525 is dependent on the choice of gun that
you decide to purchase.
A choice of different stock grips is also available from Pistol grip, Round Pistol grip and
a Straight Stock grip. Each stock is traditionally checkered providing additional control
whilst shooting. The time and care taken over the fitting of the stock to each B525 ensures
that each and every gun is perfectly balanced.
Recognising that we are all different, Browning also produces the B525 that is suitable
for left handed people and adjustable triggers with 3 different positions are provided on
all Sporting models.
Every single B525, like all Browning shotguns, undergoes extremely stringent quality
checks which include manual inspections and measurements to actually firing each and
every gun to check that the shot patterns meet our exacting standards . This is supported
by using computerised analysis to guarantee operation and extreme reliability so when
you are out in the field you can be assured that the gun you are using will not let you
down.
Each B525 shotgun comes with a number of different choices in engravings to suit your
budget and desires and is dependent on what grade of gun you decide to purchase. These
engravings include traditional game scenes such as duck and pheasants in flight to the
classical roll & scroll. The engravings become more ornate and elaborate as one progresses
from the Classic to our new top of the range Heritage model.
To ensure that every detail on your B525 is completed to the finest quality many engravings are again hand finished.

One million ..., one million over-and-under guns! Some figures really do not need much comment
at all.
Just a few weeks ago, Browning proudly celebrated the manufacture of its millionth over-and-under
gun in the B 525 family. A more than eloquent figure that materialises the undeniable success of
Browing’s over-and-under guns and opens the way for the B 525 to enter the very tight circle of
legendary guns.
The B 525 is the latest evolution of a legendary gun created by the innovative and genial mind of
John Moses Browning in 1925: the B 25, the “last word” in over-end-under guns. It was on the basis
of this gun that the B 325, the B 425 and, since 2003, the B525 were created and produced, three
arms that have now been manufactured in a million copies, a real record. This figure attests not only
to the success of the gun but, above all, to the confidence placed in Browning over-and-under guns –
especially the B 525 – by hunters and sports-shooters throughout the whole world. In less than five
years, the B525 has become an absolute reference, the perfect representative of Browning’s quality,
know-how and tradition. Its reliability, toughness and ease-of-use are legendary thanks to a faultless,
much-envied quality of production. Each gun is built with unique care by qualified gunsmiths in our
Japanese plant Miroku. Furthermore, for the past thirty years, Miroku has been considered one of the
highest-performing production plants in the world. It is a place where care for detail and rigorous
manufacturing processes are set up as rules, almost as a way of life. Every B 525 made is assembled in
the traditional way using red ochre, the bearing surfaces of the bolt and action-frame are hand-filed
and everything is checked and rechecked time and time again, so that neither time nor the thousands
of cartridges to be fired will have the slightest effect on the gun.
It is at this price that we are able to guarantee Browning 525 action-frames for 10 years and that every
gun is at the same time identical to the others, yet unique in itself.
To celebrate the millionth gun produced, Browning is proud to announce the creation in 2009 of a
special, limited, numbered series. Only 250 guns will be made in the hunting version and 250 in the
sports shooting version. These “One Million” B 525s with top-quality finish using the most carefully
selected wood will also have an exclusive engraving, specially designed for the occasion.
B525 Hunter Prestige 12M
The charm of the prestige (Gr 5) is more discrete. The fit of the barrels, the hand finished engraving and the very attractive old silver Nitrate colour of its action frame make this an elegant gun
in the best possible tradition. It comes in an Opaline case.
This model has a stock with teardrops, and a multi-purpose 3” Magnum barrel like that of the
Gr 1.

Back-Bored | Back-Bored Barrels
Browning reveals the professionals’ secret:
back-bored barrels.
First used in 1990, “BACK-BORED“ is a technical breakthrough that has allowed our shooters to win numerous medals.
Better impact and higher velocities for improved shooting accuracy. A “back-bored“
barrel is one whose internal diameter (the bore diameter) has been increased beyond
traditional specifications.
Hunting
1 | Increased penetration velocity
2 | A 6% reduction in recoil
3 | Improved shot pattern
“Back-bored” ensures that there is less friction between the shot and the wall of the
barrel. Instead of having to overcome friction, more of the energy generated by the gunpowder gases serves to propel the cartridge, thus increasing the velocity of the load.
A reduction in recoil means improved shooting comfort.
The ballistic characteristics are improved and you achieve exceptionally uniform shot patterns with many more effective pellets hitting the target.
The shot retains its ballistic quality.
The force of the pressure exerted by the barrel wall on the load is reduced, thus reducing
the number of deformed pellets fired and increasing velocity.
In a back-bored barrel, the load passes more easily reducing the amount of recoil felt by
the shooter, thus improving his shooting comfort.
• Tested and approved by the Browning Research & Development department.
• “Back-Bored Technology” barrels allow you to get the very best performance out of the
cartridge.

Fusion Evolve | Semi-automatic Shotguns
browning makes all the difference
1 |Reliability & Versatility
2 | Exceptional barrel
3 | Speed Loading™
The Fusion’s piston has an “Active Valve system” regulating valve inside it. This regulating valve
works independently of the piston, which make it more efficient than other gas operated
systems and means that it lasts longer.
• With light loads, the piston uses most of the energy generated by the gases for perfect
operation.
• With heavy loads, the excess gas is rejected through the piston’s side ventilation holes.
• Operates perfectly with all cartridges from 28 g to 56g.
• The regulating valve has 3 segments which ensure that it is perfectly tight and that the
magazine tube is clean for excellent operation.
• The piston’s extremely short stroke limits the quantity of gas given off.
• The Fusion Evolve’s Back-Bored barrel and its ventilated rib which is silver-welded are
synonymous with great rigidity. The advantage of this strength when firing is that the
points of impact are perfectly consistent and regular. Your shot pattern isn’t scattered.
• The Fusion Evolve semi-automatic shotguns’ barrels are completely interchangeable, so
you can change them easily. Depending on your type of hunting, you could use a 61cm,
66cm, 71 cm or 76cm barrel on the same gun.
Express loading system
The exclusive Speed Loading (*) and Cut Off combination gives Browning semi-automatic
shotguns the following advantages:
• Express loading
• Instantaneous cartridge loading in the chamber • Complete safety with the breech open
• Immediate reloading by disabling the Cut Off
• Ultra fast
• Extremely simple to load
• Just one action is required to load your gun: with the breech open, simply insert a cartridge into the magazine tube and it will be chambered automatically.

the characteristics of the Fusion Evolve such as the Speed Loading system or the highly
reliable Active Valve System. As is the case for all Browning semi-automatics, you can fire
high-performance standard to magnum steel-shot cartridges.

Four years have past since the Phoenix joined Browning’s range of semi-automatic shotguns. The Phoenix family has grown every year and now includes five different models.
The idea behind this gun is to offer Browning quality at an economical price. This “shooting
machine” is at ease on all terrains under all sorts of weather conditions, because of the
special treatment given to its receiver or its wooden elements and because you have the
option of a composite stock. It includes the Active Valve system and Back-Bored barrels,
without forgetting the Invector plus chokes that have made Browning semi-automatics so
successful. Phoenix, an unbeatable quality-to-price gun which maintains our reputation
for quality and reliability.

Phoenix 12M
The Phoenix gives you access to Browning quality at the best price. 3’’ Back-Bore barrels
fitted with removable Invector + chokes, high performance steel shot and the exclusive
gas operated system “Active Valve System“ make this gun a machine which can be fired
in any conditions. Furthermore, its receiver decorated with a magnificent Phoenix is fitted
with a special coating that gives superior resistance in saline conditions. Tests in saline
mist, which are extremely demanding, have shown that the finish resists corrosion for a
considerably larger period that a similar gun with a classic finish.

Browning | Browning Arms Company Quality Demands - B.A.C.O.
The qualification of new products
Before they are launched onto the market, Browning guns undergo numerous, very strict
Browning internal tests.
No product will be validated if it fails to completely fulfil the following requirements.
100% systematic inspection of mass produced guns
Browning’s extremely stringent quality checks impose a systematic inspection of each
serial gun which is screened during numerous checks and tests.
1 | Operation and endurance tests
2 | Tests in adverse conditions
3 | “Torture tests“
• Minimum of 2 000 shots for rifles
• Minimum of 5 000 shots for hunting shotguns
• Minimum of 10 000 shots for sports shotguns
• Test conditions: the gun is cooled down every 50 shots and cleaned every 500 shots
• The full range of cartridges of different makes is used.
• No part breakage is tolerated.
• Once the test has been completed, none of the parts should be excessively worn.
• The gun should operate at extreme temperatures : from -30°C to +50°C
All of these torture tests are carried out in extreme conditions that greatly exceed those
of the conventional C.I.P. standards. Browning guns’ legendary solidity and reliability are
largely due to them passing all of these tests.

• Overload tests for all guns
• Obstruction tests for rifles
• Safety tests : drop tests for all guns

CCS 525
With the introduction of the CCS 525 in the 525 range, Browning wanted to provide the
demanding hunter with a gun that is attractive, while at the same time guaranteeing flawless
operation and unequalled accuracy, and that can be easily adjusted to accept the different types
of cartridge available on the market.
Hunting
Browning has reinvented the Express Rifle
CCS 525 adjustment wedge system
The barrels, the essential part of this gun, are both traditional and original. A spacer on the upper
barrel ensures the accuracy of the vertical convergence of the barrels, while lateral convergence
is ensured by the design of the barrel itself, which incorporates a unique “Cradle“ strip. Once the
ammunition has been chosen, a spacer ring is recommended and inserted securely under the
foresight on the upper barrel, guaranteeing unequalled accuracy. (*).
The weight and balance are perfect for current hunting conditions.
The action frame has been strengthened by means of high strength stainless steel inserts.
Very special attention has been paid to every detail of this gun: a “hog’s back“ stock with a
Bavarian cheek piece, an accentuated tulip-shaped forearm for greater elegance, a fluorescent
optical fibre foresight and a traditional battue rib allowing a scope to be mounted by a gunsmith
in minimum time. The animal engravings with which it is decorated make this a very attractive
and unique rifle.
Exclusive barrel convergence adjustment system: Cannot be unset and can be adapted to different types of ammunition.
Thanks to this system, the double Express CCS525 rifles are originally set to 60m by the Liège Test
Bench and the 2 impacts should be within a 5 cm square. The ammunition used is Winchester
Partition 12.96 g and 18.53 g for 8x57JRS and 9.3x74R calibres, for the 30R Blaser, it is Blaser
CDP 10.7 g ammunition. If you would like to use different ammunition you should adapt your
gun using one of the 7 adjusting rings that are supplied with the gun.
(*) It is essential that this operation is carried out by your gunsmith.
System operation:
Whatever the diameter of the adjusting ring mounted at the gun’s muzzle, the barrel convergence
angle maintains a natural pressure and therefore a permanent contact between the muzzle of the
upper barrel and the barrel spacer wedge.
As this wedge is itself silver-brazed on the lower barrel, this ensures during firing that the
position of the upper barrel’s muzzle in relation to the lower barrel is constantly maintained.

BAR Zenith
The best selling semi-automatic rifle in the world.
New
Does the BAR, even with its real name, the Browning Automatic Rifle, still need to be
presented? With the BAR a new generation of firearms was born, semi-automatic rifles for
big-game hunting. Since it was created in 1966, by a certain Bruce Browning, John Moses
Browning’s grandson, which is real proof that it runs in the family, the Bar’s success has
been unfailing. With over a million rifles sold in 42 years, the Bar is the unchallenged leader,
the reference in semi-automatic rifles. It owes this title to the quality of its mechanism, to
the smoothness of its gas-operated system, which reduces felt recoil to a minimum, to its
reliability, but also to the fact that it has been continuously improved to offer you better
and better performance.
As the seasons go by, the BAR has been regularly improved and benefited from mechanical
or aesthetic modifications to remain the best rifle in its category. Today, twelve different
versions exist, offered in twelve different calibres. Whether you opt for a ShortTrack, a
LongTrack or a traditional BAR with a steel or light alloy receiver, you will surely profit from
over forty year’s know-how, shooting and excellence.

In 1966, Browning launched the BAR (Browning

market reference. In spite of severe but often
ineffective, competition, the BAR became the
leading semi-automatic rifle in Europe.
Bar ShortTrac / LongTrac Elite Topcote
270WSM / 30-06 / 300WM / 9,3 x 62
In 2002, in close collaboration with Winchester,
Browning developed the WSM (Winchester Short
Magnum) calibres, combining the power and
the accuracy of classic “magnum“ calibres with a
smaller cartridge.
In 2003, Browning launched the ShortTrac, the
first semi-automatic rifle on the market to be
developed specially for WSM calibres. The smaller
dimensions of the WSM cartridges have made
it possible to create a lightweight, compact gun
that guarantees “Magnum“ performance.
The ShortTrac incorporates all the experience of the BAR gained by our Research and
Development departments over a period of
almost 40 years for your maximum satisfaction.

a guarantee of quality.
• The barrel is breeched in the frame which gives great rigidity.
Hunting
3 | Essential features
• Very high quality finish and assembly.
• Exclusive Browning B.O.S.S (Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System) system: Improved
accuracy
The BOSSTM system allows the rifle to be quickly adjusted to the desired load. Each barrel equipped with the BOSSTM is marked with 10 incremental markings, and a table of
average settings is supplied for each calibre.
Reduced recoil
The BOSSTM system allows the bullet to leave the barrel at the ideal moment, i.e. in the
“peak“ or the “valley“ of the vibration wave when the muzzle is virtually motionless.
• Reversible safety device for left-handed users.
• Height- and side-adjustable stock on Short & LongTrac using 5 inserts.
• Innovative design
• Recoil sensation much softer than with bolt action rifles.
• There are 3 buttplates of different sizes (1.3cm - 2 cm - 2.5cm), which enable you to
adjust the length of your gun to suit your build. The original gun is delivered with the 2
cm intermediary butt plate.
• This red dot on the receiver acts as a gun-locking indicator for increased reliability. You
can also load your gun in silence, safe in the knowledge that it is locked properly.
• An ergonomic magazine catch allowing easy access to the hinged magazine holder and
easier loading.
• For countries where the legislation allows it, a removable drop-down magazine with a 6

endowed with brand new grey anthracite nickel-plating that is far more resistant, which bears a
modern engraving with a gold inlay (by Ch. Perrin). Another essential point, the wood benefits
from an all-new glossing treatment “ Top Cote“, which also gives greater resistance to moisture.
Bar ShortTrac - LongTrac Plus
With its tone-on-tone Browning stamp on the receiver, oil-rubbed walnut finish, the Plus model
is a refined version of the standard model. The Bar ShortTrac and LongTrac Plus is available in the
most popular gauges and comes with an ABS carry case.

Bar ShortTrac - LongTrac Elite Left Hand
Browning is the world’s first gun manufacturer to bring you a “left-hand only“ semi-automatic
rifle with left-side ejection system. The large number of left-handed hunters condemned to
using unsuitable rifles finally have the answer they have long been waiting for, and spent shells
ejecting close to their eyes or burning their arms are now a thing of the past.
Comes in two versions: New Elite and Eclipse Gold.

X-BOLT
The new benchmark in bolt-action rifle design.
The bolt-action rifle market is changed forever with the introduction of the all-new
Browning X-Bolt. The X-Bolt builds on the proven success of past Browning rifles, and adds
numerous improvements that are certain to place the X-Bolt at the top of the pack. The
most remarkable new feature is the adjustable three-lever Feather TriggerTM system that
offers the best feel on any Browning rifle ever. A new bolt unlock button offers enhanced
safety while unloading. Its new design features more compact dimensions and improved
balance, making the X-Bolt a highly functional rifle. Finally, to ensure optics stability, scope
bases are now attached to the receiver using four screws per base. Innovation is a Browning
tradition and the X-Bolt is one of the finest examples.
1 | Feather TriggerTM system
2 | An precision barrel
3 | Bolt action
For precise shooting in the field or off the bench, there’s absolutely no substitute for a
good, predictable trigger. The X-Bolt’s new three-lever Feather Trigger™ provides a clean,
crisp pull with no take-up or creep and minimal overtravel. The trigger is screw adjustable from 3 to 5 lb and factory preset at approximately 3½ lb. An alloy trigger housing
contains the hard-chromed steel components that are highly polished on all critical
contact surfaces. Precise engagement angles give the X-Bolt Feather TriggerTM a lighter
trigger pull feel that stays that way throughout its life.
A free-floating barrel is essential for utmost accuracy. 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. Another important point, the perfectly designed muzzle crown is slightly
recessed to help protect the rifling from damage. Barrels are triple checked for interior
finish, straightness and air-gauged for uniformity. All of these points make the X-Bolt an
extremely accurate rifle.
• Bolt unlocking in the safety position
The bolt unlock button works in conjunction with the top-tang safety to provide an added
measure of safety. Conveniently located on top of the bolt lever, the bolt unlock button
allows the bolt to be unlocked and opened with the safety in the on position. You can
therefore safely check and unload your X-Bolt chamber. Finally, the safety blocks the trigger
sear and features a firing pin block for added safety.
68
• 60° bolt lift
The short 60º bolt lift is fast cycling and allows you to work the bolt more quickly without
the scope getting in the way. The all-new bolt is machined from a block of solid steel
bar stock for strength and custom rifle precision. Three locking lugs provide exceptional
reliability.
X-Bolt | Repeating rifles
Hunting
4 | Inflex Technology Recoil Pad
5 | Exclusive magazine
6 | X-Lock™ scope mounting system
An all new Inflex Technology recoil pad is standard on every X-Bolt rifle. This ultra-soft
pad offers the best recoil absorption available on any rifle. The revolutionary construction
and material promote a directional deflection of recoil forces, pulling the stock comb away
from your face to reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip.
An all-new detachable rotary magazine is perfectly integrated into the X-Bolt design.
Constructed from a durable lightweight polymer, the magazine is designed to feed
cartridges directly in-line with the bolt for a straight feed into the chamber. The cartridges
are therefore chambered faster and easier without damaging the tip as in the case of
traditional leaf-spring magazines. An ergonomic magazine-mounted release lets the
magazine rotate directly downward and into your hand. This magazine can therefore be
easily detached with just one hand, even when wearing gloves in cold weather.
Securely mounted optics are essential to the accuracy and precision of any rifle. To ensure
the new X-Bolt has the most stable mount possible, it features an all new HYPERLINK
X-Lock scope mounting system that uses four screws per base, replacing the traditional
two-screw system. The benefits are obvious, with the scope bases being secured at all
four corners rather than only held at the centre of the base, allowing for more secure
fitting on the receiver.
Another important feature, the magazine has shoulders so that ammunition is held
perfectly in position when fired to avoid any damage to bullet tips.

Eurobolt
Without doubt the most versatile rifle on the market. Indeed, the Eurobolt is unique in that it is
provided with interchangeable sights. The gun can be easily modified from a stalking rifle (with
a rear leaf sight) into a driven game riffle (with a quarter rib). The trigger has a “stetcher“ (set
trigger) mechanism, allowing the gun to be fired with a very light trigger pull (hair trigger) for
very accurate shots. The Bavarian “hog’s back“ stock is always perfect, both for sighting with
open sites and with a scope. Supplied with 2 sights: rearsight + battue rib: to be mounted
according to choice.
