Description
New for 2022 — Bolt-action hunting rifle optimized for accuracy at longer ranges. Features a fluted sporter contour barrel, composite stock with OVIX camouflage, Cerakote Smoked Bronze finish on the barrel and action , threaded muzzle brake, detachable rotary magazine, short throw bolt, adjustable trigger.
If you're the type of hunter who hones your skills by shooting at varying distances throughout the year, the Speed LR is ready to impress. From the pop of lead hitting steel at over a thousand yards away to setting your crosshairs on a trophy buck, the Speed LR has the features and out of the box accuracy to give you confidence in your shot.
Built on the most popular X-Bolt rifle ever, the Speed LR rifle takes the same winning features and adds a sporter contour barrel for increased long range accuracy. Barrel fluting reduces the weight of the barrel, increases the exposed surface area of the barrel (reducing barrel heating) and offers a more rigid barrel with less weight. The barrel is also belled at the muzzle and features 5/8"-24 TPI suppressor-ready threads. This threading also accepts the Browning Recoil Hawg muzzle brake. The action is bedded in the stock to free-float the barrel and ensure consistent accuracy. The barreled action is protected by a Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish. Cerakote is a superior, non-reflective and corrosion-resistant coating that is more durable than traditional bluing or bare stainless steel.
A lightweight, sporter-style stock keeps weight low and durability high. The included adjustable comb system offers up to 1" of height adjustment to ensure that your eye is placed in perfect alignment with your scope – a vital feature considering today's large diameter, higher powered optics that are common on long range rifles.
IMPORTANT TWIST RATE NOTE: In 2018 faster twist rates were added to select calibers and the twist rate is indicated on the barrel next to the caliber. The 6.5 Creedmoor and 26 Nosler became 1-7”. The 300 Win Mag, 7mm Rem Mag and 28 Nosler became 1-8”. Prior to 2018 the 6.5 Creedmoor and 26 Nosler were 1-8”; the 28 Nosler was 1-9”; the 7mm Rem Mag was 1-9.5” and the 300 Win Mag was 1-10”.
