There is something about walnut and blued steel that never goes out of style, and the X-Bolt 2 Hunter proves you do not have to give up modern performance to get it. This one is chambered in .243 Winchester, a soft shooting, flat flying cartridge that pulls double duty on deer and coyotes, making it a great pick for younger hunters and anyone who wants less recoil without giving up reach. The 22 inch sporter contour barrel keeps the whole package right around 6.5 pounds, so it carries well on long walks to the stand.
The original X-Bolt earned its reputation over more than fifteen years in the field, and the second generation builds on it in the right places. The receiver was reconfigured with more bolt guidance surface, so the short 60 degree bolt throw runs noticeably smoother and clears big scope eyepieces with room to spare. The bolt got a new, more ergonomic knob, and the DLX trigger is a three lever design with no creep, no take up, and no overtravel, set at the factory around 3.5 pounds and adjustable from there. The action is bedded and the barrel is free floated, which is a big part of why these rifles group so consistently out of the box.
The detachable rotary magazine holds four rounds, sits flush with the stock, and feeds smoothly straight in line with the bore. A top tang safety falls right under your thumb, and the bolt unlock button lets you cycle the action with the safety on when checking or unloading the chamber. Up top, the receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock scope mount system, which uses four screws per base instead of the usual two for a rock solid optic setup. The Inflex recoil pad takes the edge off what little kick the .243 produces. Add a scope, sight it in, and this is the kind of rifle that ends up getting passed down.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or an optic. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock scope mounting system, which uses four screws per base instead of two for extra holding strength. Plan on adding bases, rings, and a scope before heading to the range.
Yes. The DLX is a three lever trigger designed to break clean with no creep, take up, or overtravel. It comes set from the factory at about 3.5 pounds and can be adjusted, so most folks find a pull weight they like without any aftermarket work.
The .243 Win is one of the most versatile light recoiling cartridges out there. It handles whitetail, antelope, and hogs cleanly with heavier bullets in the 90 to 100 grain range, and lighter loads make it a great varmint and coyote round. The mild recoil also makes it a favorite first deer rifle for new and younger hunters.
The second generation keeps the three lug bolt, rotary magazine, and tang safety that made the original popular, then improves the details. The receiver has additional bolt guidance surface for smoother cycling, the bolt handle and knob were reshaped, and the new DLX trigger replaces the older Feather trigger. The action is still bedded with a free floated barrel for consistent accuracy.
