Description
The Browning X-Bolt Scope Mount System (model 12531) is a factory-engineered, integrated two-piece base and ring system built specifically for the Browning X-Bolt bolt-action rifle. Each unit is machined from 7000-series aluminum and finished in a rugged Burnt Bronze Cerakote that matches Browning’s X-Bolt color palette, giving the mount a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that blends seamlessly with the rifle.
Browning’s X-Lock mounting platform uses a four-screw-per-base design that locks each half of the base to the receiver with far greater rigidity than traditional two-screw systems. The integrated ring-and-base design eliminates alignment problems between the base and rings, providing a rock-solid, repeatable mounting platform for optics. This configuration is set up for a 1″ tube diameter and features a low ring height, sitting just 0.400″ above the receiver, ideal for use with standard-contour barrels and scopes with objectives up to 44mm.
Supplied as a 2-piece base set with low rings included, the Browning 12531 is a direct-bolt-on upgrade or replacement mount for any Browning X-Bolt rifle. Whether you are re-barreling, switching optics, or replacing a worn factory mount, this X-Lock system provides the precise, return-to-zero fit that Browning designed into the X-Bolt action.
