Browning Plans to Add Eclipse Hunter to X-Bolt Lineup

Browning announced during the 2014 SHOT Show that it plans to expand its X-Bolt bolt-action rifle lineup this year to include the new X-Bolt Eclipse Hunter model. This rifle features a matte-blued finish on the receiver and free-floating barrel.

The satin-finish laminated gray stock has a thumbhole grip and a Monte Carlo cheekpiece. Other standard features found on all X-bolt rifles include a detachable rotary magazine, adjustable Feather Trigger, 60-degree bolt lift, and Inflex Technology recoil pad.

The X-Bolt Eclipse Hunter will be available in most popular short-action, long-action and magnum calibers. For more information on the X-Bolt Eclipse Hunter, visit Browning at www.browning.com or call (801) 876-3331.
