It has dead nutz game reaper one piece scope rings for 1” scope. 800.00 shipped to your FFL. Photos available per pm or this thread. Just supply email. Thanks Ricky

Are you positive it’s 5/8x24. Or is it 1/2x28. .

1/2x28 is what they normally thread for 22 caliber rifles.

Sorry Brian I do think it’s 1/2x28. I have two X bolts and one is a 308 which is 5/8x24 so I accidentally put that. Thanks for catching that. Ricky

Ok got clarification from Browning it’s a 5/8x24 thread. They threaded all their barrels that were suppressor ready 5/8x24 and it’s a 1/8 twist. Thanks Ricky

Bump for a sweet rifle

Were these called the Hogstalkers? Nice rifle

Seems like I remember that name being associated with them. I bought the 308 and 223.here is what browning shows for them.

I bought a bull barrel Winchester 22-250 that I’m going have threads cut for suppressor. Going to sell about 10 rifles because I have way to many. This 223 has been shot very little. Enough to put scope on and zeroed in. A lot of guys are asking about accuracy. I have no idea how accurate it is. I reload and have a bunch of loads worked up for a ar15 in hndy 50gr vmax. It’s what I sighted scope in with. These guns are built for accuracy so no reason why it want shoot. Ricky

I have really butchered this thread. Browning rep called me to clarify the thread pitch on this rifle. He told me misspoke the other day when he said it was 5/8x 24. He stated he was looking at 308 data and didn’t realize it when he gave me information. 223 has the 1/2-28 thread pitch. I then asked him to email me data to absolutely be clear on information. Here is email:: sorry for all confusion.

1/2 - 28 for thread pitch

1-8" barrel twist rate


Hope this helps
