Browning Maral 4x Hunter Full test

Browning have taken a different approach to straight pull rifle design with their new Maral 4X that uses a very unique Cervo “assist” bolt operation where you only need to pull the bolt back and then let it go to under its own power to cycle the next round. This makes the Maral 4X a super fast and reliable centrefire rifle with this new 4X model having changes to the smoother bolt ride with bronze rollers and 25% reduced travel for the de-cocking safety system with larger operating button too.
Available in two basic models the Hunter, on test, has a black action whilst the Ultimate has a nickel finished receiver. The Maral 4X has a clever threaded muzzle that acts as an anchor point for additional open sights or sound moderators alike and the detachable four shot magazine is very convenient. The Maral 4X is designed for swift and reliable operation with well balanced handling characteristics and the 3.8kg weight accordingly feels lighter that`s designed for driven hunts the Maral 4X acquits itself very well as a normal stalking rifle, if the test targets are anything to go by!

Thanks Bruce, nice rifle. Also glad to see the lead free proving the naysayers wrong!

Nice shooting Bruce! Didn’t seem picky with ammo at all. Ideal for the feral piggies here in Oz.

Fantastic accuracy and consistency for an out of the box gun.

I was genuinely surprised too, especially the Remington but that`s how it shot.

Do the old maral magazines work in the Maral 4x rifles. Mostly meaning those high cap mags for .308 and 30-06

[@mangleshkumar4965]

Range, caliber and price.... reply sir

[@echelon8941]

Can i lock back the bolt without inserting the empty magazin ?

[@MrProphet1993]

no

[@JHL_Outdoor]

If it is similar to the old maral, there is a small bolt catch in the mag well, that you can engage by hand.
