Browning didn't just slap a new name on the X-Bolt when they rolled out the second generation. The X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite gets a reworked receiver with more bolt guidance surface, so cycling feels noticeably smoother and more controlled when you're running the bolt fast with cold hands. The bolt handle got an ergonomic reshape too, and the whole package still carries that Miroku-built quality that has made the X-Bolt line a staple in deer camps for years.
The 6.5 PRC is a natural pairing for a rifle like this. The 24 inch sporter contour barrel gives the cartridge room to stretch its legs, and the 1:7 twist rate is cut for the heavy, high BC bullets that make this round shine at longer distances. The muzzle comes threaded from the factory, so adding a suppressor or brake is a five minute job. Feeding comes from a detachable rotary magazine holding three rounds, with one more in the chamber. Up front and out back, the matte finish on the barreled action keeps glare down in the field.
The standout here is the Vari-Tech composite stock. Length of pull adjusts to match your frame and your layers, the comb adjusts to line your eye up behind whatever scope you mount on the drilled and tapped receiver, and the grip modules swap between the installed sporter grip and the included vertical grip. That kind of adjustability used to mean a trip to a stock maker. The DLX trigger is user adjustable and breaks clean, and a 1.25 inch Inflex recoil pad takes real bite out of the PRC's push, which matters when you're shooting from a bench all summer getting ready for fall.
At a hair over six pounds bare, this is a rifle you can carry up a ridge all day and still trust to reach across a canyon when a buck steps out at last light.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or an optic. The steel receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, so you can set it up with the glass of your choice. Most buyers pair a rifle like this with a quality 3-15x or 4-16x scope to take advantage of what the 6.5 PRC can do.
The 6.5 PRC version runs a fast 1:7 twist, which is quicker than a lot of older 6.5 barrels. That means it stabilizes heavy, high BC bullets in the 140 to 156 grain range without issue, exactly the kind of loads that make this cartridge such a strong long-range hunting round.
The second generation gets a reconfigured receiver with more bolt guidance surface for smoother cycling, a redesigned bolt handle, and the new adjustable DLX trigger. The biggest upgrade on this model is the Vari-Tech stock, which adds adjustable length of pull, an adjustable comb, and swappable grip modules that the original Hunter never offered.
Yes, the 24 inch sporter barrel comes threaded from the factory with a protector installed over the threads. You can spin on a suppressor or muzzle brake without any gunsmithing. The sporter contour keeps overall weight reasonable even with a can attached.
