Talley Picatinny Rail — Browning X-Bolt Long Action, 20 MOA, Smoked Bronze
Model: PLMSB735 • UPC: 810301025295
Unlock the full potential of your Browning X-Bolt with the Talley Smoked Bronze Picatinny Rail (20 MOA) for Long Action rifles. Precision-machined from premium alloy and finished in a striking Smoked Bronze that complements popular X-Bolt factory finishes, this one-piece rail gives you a rock-solid foundation for modern optics—LPVOs, long-range variables, red dots with magnifiers, and night/thermal systems. The built-in 20 MOA cant extends your elevation travel so you can stay centered in your scope’s sweet spot from zero to distance.
Why This Talley Rail Elevates Your X-Bolt
Purpose-Built Fit (Long Action): Engineered specifically for Browning X-Bolt Long Action receivers for perfect screw spacing, footprint, and ejection/bolt-handle clearance.
20 MOA of Advantage: The integrated 20 MOA incline increases available elevation for longer shots while preserving near-zero capability for close-range work.
One-Piece Precision: A rigid, single-piece base enhances return-to-zero and alignment compared to multi-part setups.
1913 Picatinny Interface: Fully cross-slotted Pic rail accepts most Picatinny/Weaver-style rings and one-piece mounts—giving you flexibility to swap optics or run QD solutions.
Smoked Bronze Finish: Durable, low-glare Smoked Bronze coating pairs beautifully with X-Bolt bronze finishes and resists the elements season after season.
Lightweight Strength: Precision alloy construction keeps weight down without sacrificing clamping integrity or tracking reliability.
Compatibility note: This model is for Browning X-Bolt Long Action receivers. For Short Action or different finishes/MOA values, choose the appropriate Talley rail.
Field-Proven Benefits
Extended Dialing Headroom: Maintain a centered erector for better optical performance and reliable tracking at long range.
Repeatable Zero: Secure, consistent interface with robust cross-slots helps the optic stay put through recoil, temperature swings, and travel.
Finish That Blends In: Smoked Bronze minimizes glare and visually matches many popular X-Bolt configurations.
Ideal Pairings & Use Cases
Western Big-Game & PRS-Style Practice: Pair with a 4-16×, 3-18×, or 5-25× scope for dialing dope across real terrain.
Low-Light Hunters: Add high-quality rings and illuminated glass; the Pic rail makes eye relief adjustments simple.
Night & Thermal: The continuous rail length simplifies mounting thermals and clip-ons with proper eye relief.

Witness Mark: Paint-pen the screw heads to monitor any movement after hard use or temperature swings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a 20 MOA rail prevent me from zeroing at 100 yards?
On most long-range scopes with adequate internal elevation, no. You’ll still zero at 100 (or 200) while gaining extra up-elevation for distance.
Can I use Weaver rings on this rail?
Yes—Picatinny rails are generally compatible with many Weaver-style rings; confirm your ring’s cross-bolt dimension for proper engagement.
Is bedding required?
Typically not. Talley rails are precisely machined. If you encounter receiver variance, consult a gunsmith.
Does the finish match Browning’s bronze barrels/receivers?
The Smoked Bronze is designed to complement bronze-tone X-Bolts. Shade may vary slightly between manufacturers and production runs.
What scope heights work best?
Choose ring height to clear your objective bell and caps with your barrel contour. A general rule is the lowest height that clears comfortably.
Best Practices for Long-Range Confidence
Confirm Torque: Recheck base and ring torque after your first range session and any air-travel.
Track Your Scope: Run a simple tall-target test to verify tracking after installation.
Log Everything: Record torque values, ammo lots, and DA/zero in your dope card or app.
