My winchester sxp has almost the exact same buttstock as my xbolt. Dimensions are very similar, and they have the same recoil pads, and the shotgun uses the browning invector plus choke tubes. I would not be surprised one bit if winchester bought the design from browning.

Aren't both Winchester and Browning owned by the Herstal Group ? If so, a bit of cross-breeding can be expected.

Apperently it's winchester first 'new design' of a bolt action rifle in 50+ years.


I'm sure it kicks that ugly savage axis's butt all over alberta

Yes.

At least it isn't a cast receiver. I'm trying to find something nice to say here.

Looks like a Browning with a good trigger to me.

That is a Browning AB3. Same bolt, exactly.
