X-bolt long range hunter .28 nosler with Leopold VX6-HD 4-24 52. is it a short or long version?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Mark H., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on January 09, 2018

My boss, whom I'm not going to question with annual reviews coming up, says the .28 Nosler is a Long Action.

All four of Nosler's Cartridges - the 26 Nosler, 28 Nosler, .30 Nosler, and the .33 Nosler are based on the same .404 Jeffery parent case.

This Browning X-Bolt 20 MOA Picatinny Rail is designed to fit X-Bolt short or long action rifles only. Email us at Techsales@opticsplanet.com and let us know what specific model rifle you have, that way we can more easily recommend a picatinny base that will be compatible.

To mount the Vortex Viper PST 5-25x50 to a Browning X Bolt using the Browning X-Bolt 20 MOA Picatinny Rail I recommend using the Vortex Precision Matched Rifle Scope Rings located at the link below. I suggest you use the 30mm diameter 1.26in high Vortex Precision Matched Rifle Scope Rings, these are model number PMR-30-126.

Manufacturer Answer

Answered by Browning, Manufacturer from MN, United States, on December 02, 2021

A 20 MOA rail is designed for long range shooting. If you are using your rifle primarily for hunting, I would not recommend it for that use. It is not available in Burnt Bronze at this time, only matte blue finish. I would only use a 20 MOA rail for 600 yards and longer. 600 yards or less, it is not needed.

Expert Answer

That caliber is considered short action, so you'd need the MPN: 12521.

NO, this will not fit a BAR. Browning does not make a 20 MOA Rail for a BAR.
