Description
Big western country asks a lot of a rifle. Shots stretch out well past what most whitetail hunters ever see, the terrain punishes anything heavy or fragile, and there is rarely a second chance at a good bull. The Browning X-Bolt 2 Western Hunter LR in .300 Winchester Magnum was put together with all of that in mind. The 26 inch sporter contour barrel runs two inches longer than standard to wring extra velocity out of the magnum case, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy, high BC bullets that hold up best in wind at distance. The barrel is free floated, the action is bedded, and the muzzle wears a radial brake on 5/8×24 threads, so swapping to a suppressor is a simple job.
A Stock That Fits You, Not the Other Way Around
The Vari-Tech composite stock in OVIX camo is the piece that separates this rifle from the pack. Length of pull, comb height, and even the grip module are all adjustable, so you can set the rifle up to fit your build and your optic instead of adapting your form to the gun. Add the thick Inflex recoil pad and the brake, and a .300 Win Mag becomes something you can practice with all afternoon.
X-Bolt 2 Upgrades Where They Count
The second generation action adds extra bolt guidance surface for noticeably smoother cycling, and the spiral fluted bolt gets an extended handle with an ergonomic knob. The short 60 degree lift keeps your knuckles clear of the scope, and the DLX trigger, a three lever design preset at 3.5 pounds, breaks with zero creep or overtravel. A top tang safety with bolt unlock button lets you check the chamber with the safety on.
Feeding the Western Hunter LR
Instead of the usual three round magnum magazine, this rifle runs Browning's Plus Magazine System, a single stack extended design that gives you 5+1 capacity with a side mounted release. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with the four screw X-Lock pattern, so your scope bases stay put no matter how rough the pack out gets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the X-Bolt 2 Western Hunter LR suppressor ready?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with a radial muzzle brake installed. Spin the brake off and most common .30 caliber suppressors will thread right on without an adapter.
What makes the Vari-Tech stock different from a standard composite stock?
It adjusts in three ways: length of pull, comb height, and grip angle via interchangeable grip modules. That means you can dial in proper eye alignment behind your scope and a comfortable reach to the trigger instead of settling for a one size fits all fit. It wears Browning's OVIX camo with black overmolded grip surfaces.
How many rounds does the magazine hold in .300 Win Mag?
This model uses Browning's Plus Magazine System, an extended single stack design that gives you 5 in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber. That is a real step up from the usual 3+1 you get in most magnum hunting rifles. The magazine drops free with a convenient side mounted release button.
Does the Browning X-Bolt 2 Western Hunter LR come with sights or a scope rail?
No sights or rail are included. The receiver is drilled and tapped using Browning's X-Lock pattern, which secures each scope base with four screws instead of two for a rock solid mount. You will want to pick up X-Lock compatible bases or an X-Lock rail to mount your optic.
