    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.

    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.

    Mediums worked fine for my 50mm.

    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.
  16. I have DNZ low mounts on my xbolt with a 3.5x10x44 and works fine .
  17. That's a nice looking setup .
