Who It’s For

This rifle is for the hunter who pursues elk in the Rockies or whitetail in the Missouri Ozarks and needs a cartridge that bucks the wind at extended ranges. It’s for the shooter who values a clean, reliable action that feeds smoothly from the magazine every time. If your scenario involves crossing canyons or sitting in a sleet storm, the X-Bolt SSSTK’s combination of power and all-weather reliability is the answer. The 300 WSM, with its efficient powder burn and high ballistic coefficient bullets, is a natural fit for those reaching out beyond 300 yards.

Pros & Cons

Pros: The corrosion-resistant stainless build is a major asset for any field use. The adjustable Feather Trigger is a standout feature right out of the box. The 300 WSM offers excellent long-range ballistics with less recoil than some standard magnums. The action is famously smooth for a production rifle.

Cons: The 300 WSM, while efficient, is not as ubiquitous as .308 or .30-06, so ammo selection and cost can be a factor. The sporter-weight barrel can heat up during extended range sessions, potentially affecting point of impact. It’s a specialized tool—overkill for thick-woods whitetail at 50 yards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 300 WSM suitable for Missouri whitetail hunting?

A: Absolutely, but it’s powerful. The 300 WSM is extremely effective for deer at any range Missouri offers, but its real strength is for larger game and longer shots where its retained energy and flat trajectory shine.

Q: What type of scope base does this rifle use?

A: The Browning X-Bolt uses a proprietary dovetail mounting system. You’ll need Browning X-Bolt specific scope bases or a dedicated one-piece mount. Many major manufacturers like Leupold and Talley make them.

Q: Can the trigger pull weight be adjusted easily?

A: Yes. The Feather Trigger features a simple, tool-free adjustment screw located within the trigger guard. You can safely adjust it between 3 and 5 pounds to your preferred pull. No gunsmithing required.
