Built around the X-Bolt action, the Browning Hell’s Canyon Speed can ring steel at long range or make the climb with you up a mountain. The stock features Browning’s Western-palette A-TACS camouflage, weighs just 6.5 lbs., handles great and has a generous rubber pad to dampen felt recoil. The rifle’s barreled action wears a burnt bronze Cerakote finish that's durable, yet it is undeniably cool.
