Description
The 6.5 PRC has earned its spot as one of the go-to cartridges for western hunting, and this X-Bolt 2 Special SPR gives it a proper home. The 24 inch sporter contour barrel gives the cartridge room to build velocity, and the muzzle is belled to handle the 5/8×24 threading, so you can spin on a suppressor without giving up strength at the crown. Browning ships it with a thread protector cap, and the whole barreled action wears a non-reflective matte blued finish that won't flash sunlight at a wary buck.
What Makes the X-Bolt 2 Special SPR Shoot
Accuracy on this rifle isn't an accident. The action is bedded into the stock and the barrel is fully free floated, so point of impact stays consistent whether it's the first cold-bore shot of the morning or the fifth round off the bench. The redesigned X-Bolt 2 receiver adds extra bolt guidance surface for smooth, bind-free cycling, and the short 60 degree bolt lift keeps your hand clear of larger scope objectives. Browning's DLX trigger uses a three-lever design with zero creep, zero take-up, and zero overtravel, preset at the factory at 3.5 pounds. The patented rotary magazine feeds cartridges straight into the chamber and holds 3 rounds, with one more in the pipe for 3+1 total.
Built for the Field in OD Green
The composite stock is lightweight, shrugs off weather, and the OD Green finish blends into timber and sage country without trying too hard. Textured grip panels keep your hands planted when things get wet, and an Inflex recoil pad takes the sting out of the 6.5 PRC's push. Fit matters for consistent shooting, and the adjustable comb and length of pull let you dial the stock to your frame and your optic height. Up top, the receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock scope mounting system, which uses four screws per base for a rock-solid hold. A top-tang safety sits right under your thumb, paired with a bolt unlock button so you can check the chamber with the safety still engaged. This is a lot of well-thought-out rifle for anyone chasing elk, mule deer, or steel at distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the X-Bolt 2 Special SPR ready for a suppressor out of the box?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the most common thread pitch for rifle suppressors, and the barrel is belled at the muzzle so there's plenty of material behind the threads. A thread protector cap comes installed for when you're running it bare.
Does this rifle come with a scope or rings?
No, it ships without any optics or mounting hardware. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock mounting system, which secures each base with four screws instead of the usual two. You'll want to pick up X-Lock bases or an X-Lock compatible rail to get glass mounted.
Can the trigger on the X-Bolt 2 be adjusted?
The DLX trigger comes set at 3.5 pounds from the factory and is user adjustable. It's a three-lever design with no creep, no take-up, and no overtravel, so even at the factory setting it breaks clean. Most folks find it plenty good to leave alone.
What is this 6.5 PRC rifle best suited for?
The 6.5 PRC shines as a long-range hunting cartridge, with a flatter trajectory and more retained energy downrange than the 6.5 Creedmoor. Paired with this rifle's 24 inch barrel, bedded action, and free-floated barrel, it's well suited for mule deer, antelope, and elk-sized game at extended distances, and it doubles nicely for steel work at the range.
