Description
The Talley X-Bolt Mount 1 Inch Medium (Talley item HC940735) is a one-piece ring and base set for the Browning X-Bolt that holds a one-inch scope at medium height. It fits short and long action X-Bolt receivers, has 0 MOA of cant, and comes in the Burnt Bronze finish used on Browning Hells Canyon rifles.
Talley X-Bolt Mount 1 Inch Medium Overview
Instead of a separate base with rings clamped on top, each Talley ring is machined with its own base as one solid piece that screws directly to the receiver. With no ring-to-base joint, there is nothing between the scope and the rifle that can work loose or sit out of line. It is a clean, minimal setup that also cuts weight, which matters on a rifle you carry up and down hills all season.
Talley starts with extruded 7000 series alloy and finishes each mount with precision machining, aiming for steel-like strength at a fraction of the weight.
A Proper Fit for the X-Bolt
Browning gave the X-Bolt its own screw spacing, so standard two-piece bases will not fit. These rings bolt directly into the factory holes. The Burnt Bronze color matches the Hells Canyon family, so a scope mounted on one of those rifles looks like it left the factory that way.
Why Medium Height
Medium keeps the scope low over the bore for a natural head position and a shorter sight-over-bore offset, which makes close-range shots a little more forgiving. It suits most one-inch scopes with objectives up to roughly 40 to 42mm. If your scope has a bigger objective or tall turrets that crowd the bolt, step up to the high version instead.
Installation Tips
Clean the receiver holes and screws, apply medium thread locker to the receiver screws only, and snug each ring in place. Rest the scope in the lower halves, set eye relief, and level the reticle before tightening the caps.
Tighten cap screws evenly in a crisscross pattern with a torque driver, keeping to the scope maker limit. Check that the ring gaps are even side to side, and confirm bolt clearance through the full stroke before heading to the range.
Weight Savings in the Field
A typical steel ring and base combo can add several ounces over a one-piece alloy mount. That may not sound like much, but on a lightweight mountain rifle every ounce counts. Pairing this mount with a compact one-inch scope keeps an X-Bolt light and well balanced for long walks and steep climbs.
Honest Limitations
The mount fits the Browning X-Bolt only and one-inch tubes only. It has 0 MOA of cant, so dedicated long-range shooters may prefer a 20 MOA rail. Aluminum is lighter than steel but less forgiving of over-torque, so a torque driver is strongly recommended. The Talley product photo shows the Burnt Bronze finish; height in that image may differ from this medium version.
