Browning X-Bolt 3rd Rotary 6.5 PRC Short Action Black Polymer Rifle

The Browning X-Bolt 3rd rotary magazine in 6.5 PRC is a precision-engineered detachable magazine built for shooters who demand reliable feeding and straightforward operation. Designed specifically for Browning X-Bolt short-action rifles, this rotary magazine uses a patented straight-line feeding system that chambers cartridges directly in line with the bolt—eliminating the offset geometry of traditional leaf-spring designs and delivering a smoother, more dependable path into the chamber with every round.

Built from lightweight yet durable polymer, this magazine balances weight savings with the ruggedness you need in the field. The magnum-caliber 6.5 PRC holds three cartridges, giving you the capacity you need for hunting, long-range shooting, or practice without excess bulk. An ergonomic magazine-mounted release makes loading, unloading, and magazine swaps intuitive and fast—no fumbling or second-guessing under pressure.

The rotary mechanism itself is backed by U.S. patents, reflecting Browning's commitment to a feed system that actually works. If you own an X-Bolt short-action rifle in 6.5 PRC, this is the magazine engineered for your gun—not a compromise or a universal fit.
