Gun Rundown: The Browning X-Bolt Hell’s Canyon Speed Rifle

John Moses Browning was born five years before the Civil War, yet his gun designs inspire the armaments of the world today. He designed the .50-caliber M2 machine gun as an anti-balloon weapon during World War I, yet this timeless gun still perches essentially unchanged atop U.S. MRAP vehicles and Abrams tanks, even this deep into the 21st century.

[in_content post=”129″ alignment=”align-left” /]

Pump-action shotguns, lever-action Winchester rifles and the tilting-lock, recoil-driven operating system that runs 95 percent of the world’s current combat handguns originated in Browning’s fertile mind. Let’s not forget that he also birthed a certain 1911 handgun and the powerful .45 ACP cartridge it fires. He had a gift.

The company that bears Browning’s name carries on his legacy of innovation and quality. I did my part to keep the turkey population in check in the Mississippi Delta during my formative years by wielding a classic Browning Auto-5 shotgun. And I recently tested a modern Browning bolt-action rifle with all the bells and whistles: the X-Bolt Hell’s Canyon Speed.

Game-Getting

The Browning X-Bolt Hell’s Canyon Speed rifle weighs no more than a stripped-down AR yet provides reliable fire out as far as you might reasonably see.

Browning offers this rifle in a number of chamberings, including the .30-06 Springfield version I tested, which is capable of dropping any North American game.

In testing, I also found that the rifle provides reliable protection against predators, whether they stroll on two legs or four. In the hands of a committed survivor or hunter, this rifle will fill your larder.

The Hell’s Canyon Speed rifle reflects the state of the art in modern bolt-action designs. Fun, cool, accurate and easy to run, this modern rifle embodies all that’s good and wholesome about John Moses Browning and his many-splendored guns. This gun is everything you might want in a precision rifle.

For more information, please visit Browning.com.
