There is something about a walnut and blued steel rifle that never goes out of style, and Browning leaned into that with the X-Bolt 2 Hunter. This one is chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, a cartridge that has anchored elk, moose, and mule deer for decades, and the 26-inch sporter contour barrel gives that big case room to burn its full powder charge for the velocity the .300 Win Mag is known for. The barrel is free-floated with a 1:10 twist, the action is bedded at the recoil lug and action screws, and the matte blued finish keeps glare down when the sun hits you wrong on a ridgeline.
The second-generation X-Bolt is more than a facelift. Browning reworked the receiver with added bolt guidance surface so the action runs noticeably smoother, and reshaped the bolt handle for a more natural grab when you need a fast follow-up. The biggest upgrade is the DLX trigger, an adjustable multi-lever design that breaks clean and lets you dial the pull weight to your preference. Browning also ships the rifle with the sporter grip installed and includes a second, more vertical grip module, so you can set up the stock geometry to match how you shoot. A magnum chambering benefits from good recoil management, and the 1.25-inch Inflex pad does real work there, directing recoil down and away from your cheek.
At around 7 pounds bare, this rifle carries well for a 26-inch magnum, and the 18 LPI cut checkering on the Grade I walnut gives you solid purchase with gloves or wet hands. The detachable rotary magazine holds three rounds and feeds straight in line with the bore, the top-tang safety falls right under your thumb, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped so mounting your scope is simple. No sights are included, which is expected on a rifle built to wear glass. For anyone wanting a traditional wood-stocked magnum with genuinely modern guts, this one checks the boxes.
No, this rifle ships without sights. The steel receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you just need a set of bases or Browning's X-Lock mounts and rings to get your optic on. A .300 Win Mag with a 26-inch barrel is built to reach out, so plan on quality glass to take advantage of it.
The .300 Win Mag has some push, no way around it, but this rifle handles it better than most in its weight class. The 1.25-inch Inflex recoil pad is designed to direct recoil down and away from your face, and the stock geometry helps too. Off the bench it gets your attention, but in the field with adrenaline going you will barely notice it.
Browning reworked the receiver with more bolt guidance surface for smoother cycling and gave the bolt handle a more ergonomic shape. The trigger was upgraded to the adjustable DLX design, and the stock now uses interchangeable grip modules with a second vertical grip included in the box. The bottom metal was also slimmed down for a cleaner feel in hand.
Yes, the DLX is a multi-lever trigger that is user adjustable for pull weight. It breaks clean with minimal take-up or creep out of the box, and most folks find a setting they like without much fuss. It is one of the standout upgrades on the second-generation X-Bolt.
