Just bought a new X Bolt in 300 win mag going to put a Bushnell legend hd 4.5/14/44 on it was just wondering if there were any recommendations for which size X lock mounts to use. also wonder in if any one has any preferred factory loads for this rifle.
Welcome to the Browning Owners Forum Craig !! Not sure about that question on the X lock mounts...but I'm sure someone here will chime in...stand by.
Just incase anyone is researching this thread for a 50mm scope; I just mounted a 50mm Nikon on my x bolt 7mm RM and bought both the intermediate and high mounts. I dry fitted the intermediates and found that the scope fit with about 1mm to spare, but the scope cap would not fit between the barrel and scope so I went with the high mounts, and everything fits great.
I found that my X bolt needed the high X lock rings as medium was not tall enough for my 50 mm Vari-X III Leopold 3.5-10X.
I just ordered the intermediates for my Vortex Viper 6.5-20x 50 mm as per Browning's website, I hope they fit. Scope Ring System Height Selection Guide Use the Standard (low) ring height for scopes up to a 44mm objective with a standard barrel contour. Use the Intermediate (medium) ring height for scopes up to a 50mm objective with a standard barrel contour. Use the High ring height for scopes up to a 56mm objective with a standard barrel contour. Important: These fit the X-Bolt only. http://www.browning.com/products/sh...ases/xbolt-integrated-scope-mount-system.html
Bought a Leupold vx 3i in 4.5 - 14 x 50 to put on an xbolt stalker. Couldn't get the eye relief I need with the intermediate, the bell on the scope was hitting the barrel. I ordered the 1" High mounts.
