Key Features:

• New X-Bolt 2 Receiver: The redesigned receiver features a modernised shape for improved aesthetics and a smoother bolt cycle. The 60° bolt lift provides ample clearance for large optics and facilitates rapid follow-up shots in the field.
• DLX Trigger System: The new DLX Trigger is a factory-tuned, multi-lever design that eliminates creep and overtravel, delivering a crisp, "glass-break" feel essential for precision shooting and consistent accuracy.
• Compact 18" Barrel: The shortened barrel length reduces overall weight and improves balance, making it ideal for hunting in thick brush or for use with a sound moderator. This configuration is particularly effective for close-quarters hunting.
• Factory Threaded (M14x1): The muzzle comes pre-threaded with a standard M14x1 pitch, allowing for the easy installation of a muzzle brake or sound moderator without the need for custom gunsmithing.
• Grade 1 Walnut Stock: A classic, satin-finished walnut stock provides a timeless look and a warm, natural feel. The new stock geometry features a slimmer wrist and forend for improved ergonomics, enhancing the rifle's handling and comfort during extended use.
• Inflex II Recoil Pad: The industry-leading Inflex II pad uses directional deflection to pull the comb down and away from the face upon firing, significantly reducing felt recoil and shooter fatigue for a more comfortable shooting experience, especially during longer sessions.
• Robust Accuracy: Built with a free-floating barrel and rigid receiver, the Browning X-Bolt 2 is designed for inherent accuracy, ensuring consistent performance and reliable shot placement in various outdoor conditions.
