Left Hand X-Bolt???

A buddy of mine visited Sportsman's Warehouse in Roanoke, VA today. They told him they would be getting some LH Browning X-Bolts in shortly. There's no leftys on their website. Anybody heard anything?

That's new to me, I haven't heard that one yet.

Me as well. I've handled the RH versions, and they're pretty nice. I'd say a significant upgrade over the A-Bolt. It's not really that unusual, as Browning has had a pretty decent history of supporting the LH shooter. Sooner or later they were going to introduce them.

I saw an ad where someone was selling a LH X-bolt, don't remeber where I saw it, but once I saw the pictures it was an A-bolt. I hope Browning does come out withe LH X-bolt, they are really nice. Their website does not say anything about it yet.

According to the factory rep, you will see the LH X-Bolt in the 2010 catalog. Available in 2011. I have been hounding him pretty hard and that was the answer the last 2 times I talked to him.

Do we need yet another push-feed?

Another option can't hurt? Although, if I were gonna buy a push-feed with composite (plastic) parts I'd prolley get a T3 again......

The website does show some LH T-Bolts, which is a great thing!

I'd like someone to fill the gaps, not pile on the standard fare.

There are several manufacturers who make LH push-feed .270/7mm/.30-06, but there are few LH varminters, and LH CRF big-bores.

Could not agree more, George.

I'm not hearing good things about that X-Bolt, the triggers are breaking, magazine falls out without much effort - poor feeding and extraction.

Glad I have a .270, 375, 325wsm & 300 win mag in a left handed A-Bolt - that should hold me for a lifetime.

I also read a thread of a new trigger that, as best as I can recall, broke in half...
There was not much love being lavished on the X-Bolt on this particular thread.
