Browning took one of the best-selling hunting rifles in America and made it better across the board. The X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite gets a reconfigured receiver with added bolt guidance surface, so the action runs noticeably smoother than the original, plus a reshaped bolt handle and the same short 60 degree lift that keeps your knuckles clear of big scope bells. Chambered in 6.8 Western with a 1:7.5 twist, this one is built to stabilize heavy, high-BC .277 caliber bullets, which is exactly what makes the cartridge such a standout for elk, mule deer, and long pokes across open country.
The composite Vari-Tech stock is the big story here. You get adjustable length of pull, an adjustable comb for proper eye alignment behind your scope, and interchangeable grip modules with a sporter grip installed and a vertical grip in the box. Overmolded grip panels keep things secure in wet weather, and the 1.25 inch Inflex recoil pad teams up with the included radial muzzle brake to take real sting out of the 6.8 Western. Between the brake and the pad, this rifle is far more pleasant at the bench than the cartridge's ballistics would suggest.
The 24 inch sporter contour barrel is free-floated with a bedded action for consistent groups, finished in low-glare matte blue, and threaded at the muzzle with a thread protector included if you'd rather run it clean or add a suppressor. The DLX trigger is a multi-lever design that breaks clean with no creep or overtravel, and it adjusts to your preference. Feeding comes from Browning's proven detachable rotary magazine, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, so getting glass on it is simple.
At 44 inches overall and roughly 6 pounds 10 ounces bare, this is a rifle you can pack all day and still trust when a bull steps out at distance. It is a smart pick for anyone who wants modern long-range capability in a proper walk-and-stalk hunting rifle.
The 6.8 Western is a short-action .277 caliber cartridge designed around heavy, high ballistic coefficient bullets. That means excellent downrange energy and wind performance with less recoil than the big magnums. It is a great fit for elk, mule deer, black bear, and just about any North American big game at extended distances.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting a scope base and rings is quick and easy. Given how flat the 6.8 Western shoots, a quality variable scope is the way to go.
Yes. The 24 inch sporter barrel comes threaded from the factory, with a radial muzzle brake installed and a thread protector included in the box. Just verify your suppressor or muzzle device matches the thread pitch on this model before mounting.
Browning reworked the receiver with additional bolt guidance surface for smoother cycling and gave the bolt a more ergonomic handle. The new DLX trigger is a multi-lever design with a clean break and no creep, and the Vari-Tech stock adds adjustable length of pull, an adjustable comb, and swappable grip modules. It keeps the proven rotary magazine and short 60 degree bolt lift that made the original so popular.
