Description

Plenty of hunters love the warmth of a walnut stock but know better than to drag one through a week of sleet and canyon wind. Browning's answer is the X-Bolt 2 McMillan LR WHD, a SHOT Show Special that puts a Wood Hydrographic Decoration finish on a real McMillan Game Scout composite stock. From a few feet away it reads like matte Turkish walnut. In your hands it is rugged fiberglass that shrugs off weather and holds zero when a wood stock would be swelling and shifting.

What Makes the X-Bolt 2 McMillan LR WHD Shoot

The Game Scout is one of McMillan's best selling stocks for good reason, and Browning beds the redesigned X-Bolt 2 action into it with the barrel fully free floated for consistent accuracy. The 26 inch fluted heavy sporter stainless barrel runs two inches longer than a standard sporter, which wrings extra velocity out of the .300 Win Mag and flattens your trajectory at the distances this cartridge was made for. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and wears Browning's Recoil Hawg brake, with a thread protector included if you want a cleaner profile or plan to run a suppressor. Between the brake, the Pachmayr Decelerator pad, and a field-friendly 8.3 pound heft, this magnum is far more pleasant off the bench than you would expect.

Living With This X-Bolt 2 Day to Day

The second-generation action is where Browning did its homework. The spiral fluted bolt cycles smoothly through a short 60 degree lift, the extended handle gives you real leverage with gloves on, and the adjustable DLX trigger lets you dial the pull to your liking. A top tang safety sits right under your thumb, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock mounting system, which grabs each base with four screws instead of two. Feeding comes from a detachable rotary magazine holding three rounds, plus one in the chamber. For elk timber, open-country mule deer, or long afternoons stretching the rifle out on steel, this one covers a lot of ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the stock on the X-Bolt 2 McMillan LR WHD real wood?

No, and that is the whole point. It is a genuine McMillan Game Scout fiberglass composite stock with a Wood Hydrographic Decoration finish that mimics matte walnut. You get the classic look without the weight shifts and weather sensitivity that come with actual wood.

Can I run a suppressor on this rifle?

Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so you can spin off the included Recoil Hawg brake and mount most .30 caliber suppressors directly. Browning also ships a thread protector cap for when you are running the muzzle bare.

Does the X-Bolt 2 McMillan LR come with sights or a scope rail?

It ships with no sights and no rail, so budget for an optic and mounts. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock system, which secures each base with four screws instead of the usual two. That is a solid setup for the heavier long-range scopes most people put on a .300 Win Mag.

How bad is the recoil in .300 Win Mag?

Much more manageable than the cartridge's reputation suggests. The Recoil Hawg brake does a lot of heavy lifting, the Pachmayr Decelerator pad soaks up what is left, and the 8.3 pound weight keeps the rifle planted. Most people find it comfortable enough for a full afternoon of load development, though ear protection is a must with a brake this effective.
