Browning’s New X-Bolt Max Varmint/Target

Long range shooters have more specialized rifle options to choose from now than ever before. However, for Total Accuracy, they need only look to Browning and the new X-Bolt Max Varmint/Target.A highlight of the X-Bolt Max Varmint/Target is the composite Max stock. It features an adjustable comb that allows the shooter to dial-in the fit of the rifle to optimize eye-to-scope alignment. Included stock spacers are easy to fit between the Inflex Technology recoil pad and the stock to adjust the length of pull. A comfortable, upright pistol grip optimizes finger-to-trigger reach. A fore-end mounted Picatinny rail provides a secure location for a bipod and includes an integrated mount for a sling swivel. The horizontal surface on the bottom of the buttstock sends the rifle straight back when shooting from bags, helping to keep the target in the scope so the shooter can watch for bullet impact. The matte black finish minimizes reflection to help hide from cagey varmints.

Bedded into the Max stock is the accurate, award-winning X-Bolt action with matte blued finish. An extended bolt handle makes it faster and easier to operate the bolt. The hand chambered, fluted, 26″ stainless steel barrel has a heavy bull profile to offer additional stability. A removable muzzle brake is threaded 5/8″-24 TPI to accommodate a suppressor and a thread protector is included when the muzzle brake is not in use. Read more

NRA: San Francisco Backs Down

National Rifle Association of America | 11250 Waples Mill Road | Fairfax, VA 22030San Francisco Backs Down: Facing a Lawsuit by the NRA, Mayor Breed Declares – We Won’t Blacklist NRA Contractors

FAIRFAX, Va.– The National Rifle Association of America declared victory in San Francisco today, after Mayor London Breed formally disavowed key provisions of a municipal resolution that signaled the blacklisting of contractors linked to the Second Amendment advocacy group.

On September 3, 2019, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, which is the legislative body for the City and County of San Francisco, unanimously approved a resolution that called for the City to investigate ties between its contractors and vendors and the NRA. The city declared the NRA was a “domestic terrorist organization.” Not surprisingly, the NRA sued.

On September 9, 2019, less than a week after the resolution was enacted, the NRA challenged it as government action adversely affecting its First Amendment rights. In its filing, the NRA called the resolution a “blacklisting” measure, and urged San Francisco’s federal court to “step in and instruct elected officials that freedom of speech means you cannot silence or punish those with whom you disagree.”

Late last week, rather than await “instruction” from a court, San Francisco Mayor London Breed backed down. In a formal memorandum to City officials, she declared that “no [municipal] department will take steps to restrict any contractor from doing business with the NRA or to restrict City contracting opportunities for any business that has any relationship with the NRA.” Read more
