Description
The 300 PRC was designed from the ground up to push long, high-BC .30 caliber bullets way out there, and the X-Bolt 2 Special Max LR gives the cartridge the platform it deserves. The 26 inch heavy sporter barrel wrings out the velocity this round is known for, and the 1:8 twist keeps those heavy match and hunting bullets stable well past the distances most rifles tap out. The muzzle wears 5/8-24 threads under a protector, so adding a suppressor or brake takes about a minute. Underneath it all, the action is bedded and the barrel free floats, which is a big part of why these rifles shoot so consistently shot after shot.
A Max Stock That Fits You, Not the Other Way Around
The composite Max stock is where this rifle separates itself from a standard hunting gun. The comb adjusts to line your eye up perfectly behind the scope, and included spacers let you dial in length of pull. The vertical grip sets your hand at a natural angle whether you are on a bench, prone behind a bipod, or leaned over shooting sticks, and the wide flat fore-end rides bags beautifully. A thick Inflex recoil pad takes real bite out of the 300 PRC, which matters more than people admit on long range days.
X-Bolt 2 Upgrades You Can Feel
Browning's second generation action adds an extra bolt guidance surface, so the short 60 degree throw runs smooth without binding, and the extended bolt handle gives you extra leverage when cycling fast. The adjustable DLX trigger breaks clean with no creep or overtravel, and the matte stainless receiver comes drilled and tapped with Browning's four-screw X-Lock pattern for a rock solid optic mount. Feeding comes from a detachable rotary magazine holding three rounds, with a tang safety and bolt unlock button rounding things out.
Where the Special Max LR Earns Its Keep
This is the rifle for elk hunters stretching across canyons, western mule deer country, and anyone who spends the off season ringing steel at distance. It bridges the hunting and precision worlds without the weight penalty of a full target rig.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the X-Bolt 2 Special Max LR ready for a suppressor?
Yes. The 26 inch heavy sporter barrel comes threaded 5/8-24 from the factory with a thread protector installed. That thread pitch covers the vast majority of .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes, including Browning's own Recoil Hawg, so there is nothing extra to do before mounting a can.
Will this rifle stabilize heavy 300 PRC match bullets?
It will. The 1:8 twist barrel was specced with the 300 PRC's long, high-BC bullets in mind, so 212 to 230 grain loads fly true. That is exactly the bullet weight range this cartridge was built around for long range hunting and target work.
How adjustable is the Max stock on this X-Bolt 2?
The comb adjusts for height so you can get proper eye alignment with just about any scope and mount combo, and included spacers let you fine tune length of pull. You also get a vertical grip that positions your hand well from the bench or prone, plus a wide flat-bottom fore-end that sits steady on bags and rests.
Does the Special Max LR come with sights or a scope rail?
No sights or rail are included. The stainless receiver is drilled and tapped using Browning's X-Lock four-screw pattern, which gives you a stronger mount than traditional two-screw bases. You will want to pick up X-Lock compatible bases or an integrated mount to get an optic on board.
