Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The .300 Win Mag has earned its keep on elk mountains and open-country mule deer hunts for decades, and a 26 inch barrel is how you get everything the cartridge has to offer. That is exactly what Browning gives you here. The X-Bolt 2 Composite Special wears a heavy sporter contour barrel in a non-reflective matte blued finish, with the muzzle cut for 5/8×24 threads so you can spin on a brake or suppressor without a trip to the gunsmith. A thread protector comes installed for the folks who prefer to run it bare.
The second-generation X-Bolt action picked up extra bolt guidance surface, so cycling feels smoother and more sure-handed than the original, and the short 60 degree bolt throw keeps your knuckles clear of big scope turrets. The action is bedded and the barrel free floated, which is a big part of why these rifles have a reputation for shooting well straight out of the box. Browning's DLX trigger is a three-lever design with no creep or take-up, preset at 3.5 pounds and adjustable down to 3. Feeding comes from a detachable rotary magazine that lines cartridges up with the chamber for slick, straight-line feeding, good for 3+1 in this chambering. The 1:8 twist is faster than the old .300 Win Mag standard, so it stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets that today's factory loads lean on.
The OD Green composite stock is lightweight, weather resistant, and finished with textured grip panels that stay planted when your gloves are wet. An Inflex recoil pad takes the sting out of magnum recoil, the top-tang safety falls right under your thumb, and the bolt unlock button lets you check the chamber with the safety still on. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock mounting system, which uses four screws per base instead of two for a rock-solid optic setup. Add glass, zero it, and this rifle is ready for a long career in the field.
No, this model ships with a thread protector cap rather than a brake. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the most common pattern out there, so adding a brake or suppressor is quick and easy. Plenty of owners run Browning's Recoil Hawg brake to tame the .300 Win Mag's push.
Yes. Browning cuts the .300 Win Mag barrels with a 1:8 twist, which is faster than the traditional 1:10 for this cartridge. That means it handles long, heavy, high-BC bullets like 200 grain and up match and hunting loads without issue, along with standard 150 to 180 grain fare.
It is. The DLX trigger is a three-lever design with essentially zero creep, take-up, or overtravel, and it leaves the factory set at 3.5 pounds. You can adjust it down to about 3 pounds if you prefer a lighter break for precision work.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock scope mounting system, which secures each base with four screws instead of the usual two. X-Lock bases and rings are widely available from Browning, Talley, Leupold, and others. Mounts made for the original X-Bolt use the same pattern, so they carry right over.
