Browning X-Bolt Composite Stalker Matte Black Bolt Action Rifle - 243 Winchester - All Business. No Nonsense. The X-Bolt Composite Stalker isn't flashy . . . but it is durable, accurate, well-thought-out, and has all the elegant lines and curves you'll find on its "prettier" siblings. Most importantly it is capable of the overall exceptional accuracy that has caused the A-bolt to be compared with custom guns costing thousands more.
Composite works harder. More and more hunters are turning to composite-stocked firearms for many reasons. Probably the biggest is that they no longer want to bang up that pretty Walnut stock. The X-Bolt Composite Stalker is an excellent rifle choice for deer hunting in conditions where a hunter may not wish to take the traditional Walnut stocked rifle. The X-Bolt Composite Stalker's stock is made from tough, Composite material that can take a beating. Don't think it would be slippery, unattractive or uncomfortable to fire. The stock is textured for a secure grip from forearm to pistol grip. It also has a comfortable palm swell. The black stock -- with a tint of gray -- has perhaps the most rugged appearance and performance of any Browning composite stock ever.
