By now, Browning's X-Bolt Pro Series certainly needs no introduction. With instant recognition, the rifle line has quickly become one of the most popular of its kind. For 2021, the company is building on that with several extensions to the X-Bolt Pro line. In this video, North American Whitetail's Laden Force talks with Browning's Rafe Nielsen about one of them — the X-Bolt Pro McMillan.

A precision bolt-action rifle that is designed for both the field and the range, the Pro McMillan is loaded with features.

Recoil Hawg

Browning entered 2021 with thoughts of reducing muzzle jump, an import aspect of keeping the shooter on target, as well as gaining target acquisition for follow-up shots. Enter the Recoil Hawg — a muzzle break that will reduce recoil up to 73 percent depending on your caliber. The product features specifically designed directional porting to blow gases up and to the sides, minimizing dust signature. Available in Matte Black, Burnt Bronze and Silver.
