Title: 2019 Browning X Bolt MAX LR
Post by: JBar on January 03, 2019, 02:24:39 PM: Just starting a new topic instead of adding on to the Hells Canyon thread. For $12-1300 MSRP I think it's a lot of rifle for the $$

Post by: opdinkslayer on January 05, 2019, 12:02:08 PM: Wonder what the magazine length is for the 300rum & 28 nosler? Is it gonna hinder being able to load heavy bullets long?

Post by: JBar on January 05, 2019, 01:34:15 PM: I would think at least for the 28 it will be since they've had other LR rifles in the same caliber. I didn't see the 300RUM in the line up but I didn't look that close at the 30 cals. I'll get the 7 mag if I order one.

Looks like a solid deal.

Post by: opdinkslayer on January 06, 2019, 09:23:16 AM: :yeah: that is kind of a interesting choice but it doesn’t squelch my desire to own one of these. Was looking for a 30 to shoot 215’s & be a lr packable muley hammer! Thinkin this is what I’m lookin for at a great price point. Now is it a 300wm or 300rum that I desire?🤔......
