Product Description
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Cerakote Stainless .308 20" Walnut rifle represents a significant evolution in hunting firearms, blending classic aesthetics with modern performance. Designed for the discerning hunter, this model offers a host of refinements for smoother operation, enhanced ergonomics, and superior durability in diverse outdoor conditions. Its compact design and robust construction make it an ideal choice for various hunting scenarios, from open country to dense bush.
- DLX Trigger: This new three-lever design provides exceptional crispness with zero creep, zero take-up, and zero overtravel. It comes factory-set at 3.5 lbs but is user-adjustable down to 3.0 lbs, allowing for precise shot placement.
- Smoother Action: The receiver has been reconfigured with additional surface area in the bolt raceway, providing a "buttery" cycle and significantly reducing any chance of bolt bind for reliable operation in the field.
- Redesigned Bolt: Features a more ergonomic, rounded triangular bolt knob and a spiral-fluted bolt body, contributing to weight reduction, improved debris clearance, and enhanced cycling.
- Inflex Recoil Pad: The new model incorporates a slightly thicker 1.25" Inflex recoil pad, which is highly effective at absorbing recoil and taming the snap of a lightweight .308 rifle, enhancing shooting comfort.
- Cerakote Finish: The stainless steel barrel and receiver are finished with a durable Smoked Bronze or Tungsten Cerakote coating. This provides superior corrosion resistance and a non-reflective matte appearance, making the rifle highly suitable for various weather conditions encountered during hunting.
- Grade I Walnut Stock: The rifle features a classic Grade I black walnut stock with a satin finish. This stock is appreciated for its traditional lines, comfortable ergonomics, including a slight palm swell, and well-executed checkering, offering a blend of timeless appeal with modern functionality.
- Exceptional Accuracy: The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter is consistently reported to deliver excellent accuracy out of the box, capable of achieving consistent groups, often around 1-inch or better with suitable ammunition.
- Detachable Rotary Magazine: Equipped with a flush-fitting rotary magazine, this rifle ensures reliable feeding and offers a convenient, low-profile design.
Specifications for the .308 Hunter with a 20" barrel:
This shorter 20" barrel makes the rifle exceptionally well-balanced for bush stalking, where quick target acquisition is more important than the slight velocity gain of a 22" or 24" barrel.
