New 2022 Rifles

[mxgust]

Where did you get this from?

Browning website has different specs:

X-Bolt Speed - OVIX Camo - Bolt-Action Rifle - Browning

Browning X-Bolt accuracy in a mountain-rifle configuration. Fluted, sporter-weight barrel with radial muzzle brake. Cerakote Smoked Bronze finish. Composite stock with highly versatile Browning OVIX Camo.

www.browning.com

They have a few different xbolt models listed, the shorter barrels are on the "suppressor ready" version

The FFT Mesa and Ridgeline are exactly what I have been looking for. I wish the Ridgeline had the same barrel lengths as the Mesa. I think a FFT Ridgeline in 7-08 w/20” barrel would be amazing.

You are correct. Here it is:

X-Bolt Speed Ovix – Suppressor Ready – Browning – Bolt Action Rifle

Bolt-action Browning X-Bolt with suppressor-ready, match grade, fluted sporter weight barrel. Composite stock with OVIX camo. Smoked Bronze Cerakote metal finish.

That Ridgeline FFT is really gonna screw me up. I was all but set on the Seekins Havok Element.

Anyone heard what a release date on those are?

I still prefer the stock of the Element. But the Ridgeline is still a stellar option

It actually seems like CA is updating their website throughout the week. It seems there’s more chambering being offered and some spelling errors corrected. The Ridgeline FFT now has a bunch of 20” options.

Hot damn. That 6.5 PRC @ 20”. Not sure I’m gonna be able to resist that.

It'd be nice to see them update the specs to show the 280AI or 7mm RM offered in left hand.

Definitely. Just more info on dimensions of stocks and barrels would be nice. Hopefully in a bit of time.

im REALLY eyeing up that CA Ridgeline FFT in the 300wsm with the 20" barrel. Although expensive....it may just be the perfect mountain rifle upgrade for me. The weight savings allows for a slighly heavier scope option without too much weight penalty on the combination.

fyi - I called to ask if they were going to make the CA Ridgeline Titanium FFT. They said they have no plans.

I had a t3 in 300wsm. The factory barrel was shortened to 19.5”. The way it recoiled was something stupid. Could have been that stock though. Can’t hunt with suppressors in Canada and I can’t use a muzzle brake when still hunting.

Anyone have an idea what it might cost in Canada?

any idea what the weight of your rifle/scope combo was? This is the one thing im worried about going with a light rifle. its not a gun that will be shot a bunch at the range.....but its got to be something that wont cause unnecessary flinches too.

I’m pretty interested in some of the new bergaras too. I saw browning also had a few that they made a post about. Didn’t seem like anything earth shattering. Mostly a new stock camo pattern

They have the SR , suppressor ready, rifles as well. Shorter barrels and threaded with standard suppressor threads.

Saw an add for a Howa Superlite today. 4 pounds 7 ounces in a suppressor ready 6.5 Creedmoor. Would make a great little truck gun. Not sure it would replace my Fieldcraft though. Has some good features listed (3 position safety, flush detach mag). I have never owned a Howa though so have no idea how nice these are.

MSRP $1,399. *quick research found some listed for $1,159 online.

Super Lite - Legacy Sports International – The Most Trusted Name in the Shooting Industry

Accurate / Lightweight / Affordable This new offering has a unique Howa Action build that is in between the popular Howa Mini Action and standard Short Action platform. The perfect stick and move mountain rifle or compact tree stand go to setup that doesn’t break the bank and performs...

Poor caliber selection though. Not a bad looking rifle though

I don’t remember the exact weight of the rifle ready to go but it was 5.99lbs without mounts or scope. I had a Leupold3i 3-9*40 on it.

I wonder when the new rifles will be available. I'd like to get a Howa Superlite for my wife and a lefthanded Ridgeline FFT in 6.5 PRC for the man of the house.

I called a couple days ago, they said they are shipping to dealers later this month

@rbljack did you end of getting the 300WSM FFT?

The new Brownings look pretty tight. Everything else looks the same as last year.
