Browning Expands X-Bolt Line
Browning is expanding their X-Bolt line, the line they’ve claimed is “the new benchmark in bolt-action rifles.” Among other improvements upon their other bolt-actions, the X-Bolt line has Browning’s adjustable three-lever Feather Trigger and is lighter-weight overall. The company says the two new additions promise superior accuracy and being immediately hunt-ready.
From Browning:
Browning will expand its X-Bolt rifle line for 2015 to include the new X-Bolt Eclipse Target and Eclipse Varmint models. Both models feature a laminated gray satin finish stock that has a thumbhole grip with Monte Carlo cheek piece.
The X-Bolt Eclipse Target will be offered in 6.5 Creedmoor and 308 Win. calibers. The 28″ heavy bull barrel provides excellent accuracy. The X-Bolt Eclipse Target rifle has an adjustable Feather Trigger that is factory set at 3 to 3 ½ lbs.
The X-Bolt Eclipse Varmint is ready to hunt and will be offered in popular varmint hunting calibers including 204 Ruger, 223 Rem. and 22-250 Rem. The X-Bolt Eclipse Varmint rifle features an accurate 26″ heavy bull barrel.
Other standard features found on all X-Bolt rifles include a detachable rotary magazine, adjustable Feather Trigger, 60° bolt lift, bolt unlock button and Inflex Technology recoil pad.
Both models Suggested Retail: $1,069.99.

I do like miroku
I have 2 Browning x-bolts one is a maple medallion Rocky Mountain Elf Foundation banquet gun, both are great buns and I love the tang safety on them. The issue I see with these eclipse x-bolts is that it is really awkward to reach the safety with the thumb through stock.
