There is something about a deep gloss walnut stock and polished blued steel that never goes out of style, and the X-Bolt 2 Medallion leans all the way into it. Browning fits this one with a Grade III walnut stock finished in high gloss with rosewood caps at the fore-end and grip, plus a scroll-engraved receiver that looks like it belongs in a gun cabinet with glass doors. The spiral fluted bolt trims a little weight and gives the rifle a custom shop kind of look. But this is not just a pretty face. It is built on the second generation X-Bolt action, and the improvements over the original are the kind you feel every time you run the bolt.
The action gets extra bolt guidance surface for noticeably smoother cycling, and the reshaped bolt handle and knob fall right under your hand. The action is bedded and the 22 inch sporter contour barrel is free floated, which is a big part of why these rifles have earned their reputation for consistent accuracy. The DLX trigger is a three-lever design with no creep, no take-up, and no overtravel, set at the factory at 3.5 pounds and adjustable down to 3. A radial muzzle brake comes on the threaded muzzle to tame recoil, though 6.5 Creedmoor is already a soft shooter, so this setup is downright pleasant for long range practice or walking a new hunter through their first deer season.
At 6 pounds 10 ounces bare, this rifle carries like a hunting gun should. The detachable rotary magazine holds four rounds and feeds straight in line with the bolt, and the tang safety sits right where your thumb wants it. There are no iron sights, but the receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock mounting system, which uses four screws per base so your scope stays put. If you want one rifle that handles whitetails, mule deer, antelope, and steel plates out past where most folks practice, this caliber and this platform make a strong case for themselves.
The X-Bolt 2 action was redesigned with additional bolt guidance surface, so cycling feels smoother and less prone to binding when you run it fast. The bolt handle and knob were reshaped for better ergonomics, and the new DLX trigger replaces the old Feather trigger with a crisper three-lever design. The classic Medallion looks carried over, including the gloss walnut stock and engraved blued receiver.
No, it ships without sights or bases, which is typical for a hunting rifle in this class. The receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning's X-Lock mounting system, which secures each base with four screws instead of the usual two. You will want to pick up X-Lock bases and rings or an X-Lock rail to mount your optic.
Yes, the radial muzzle brake threads onto the barrel, so you can remove it and attach a suppressor or other muzzle device with matching threads. That flexibility is handy since 6.5 Creedmoor is a popular suppressor-friendly cartridge. Many owners shoot the brake at the range and swap to a can for hunting.
It is one of the most sensible pairings you can make with a lightweight walnut sporter like this. The cartridge shoots flat, bucks wind well, and recoils gently, which suits the rifle's 6 pound 10 ounce weight. It is plenty for deer, antelope, and similar game, and it doubles nicely for steel at longer distances.
