The new Hell’s Canyon Hunter MAX LR is designed to bridge the gap between a long range hunting and precision competition. It has all of the performance-driven features made famous by the X-Bolt, all rolled into a revised action with additional bolt guidance for smoother bolt operation. Optimized for long range accuracy, the lengths of the fluted, heavy sporter contour barrels run 2" longer than standard lengths (to a maximum of 26") for added bullet velocities. The muzzle is belled to accommodate the larger 5/8"-24 suppressor-ready threading. The action is bedded, and the barrel is free floated for consistent accuracy. Whether you are a hunter or an aspiring competitor, if you are looking for extra magazine capacity, the Hell’s Canyon MAX LR delivers with the new Plus Magazine system. It uses our proprietary Plus Magazine — a single stack, extended design — that holds 5 or 6 rounds depending on the cartridge. The Plus Magazine system retains the shoulder holding feature of the X-Bolt rotary magazine and uses the same center feed design — two features designed prevent damage to the tips of bullets in the magazine under recoil or when loading to the chamber. The Plus Magazine system has easy insertion and ejection with a convenient side mounted release button.
