Browning 036003246 X-Bolt 2 .300 WSM 23" 4-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Browning X-Bolt 2 .300 WSM 23" 4-Round Bolt-Action Rifle delivers the reliability and precision demanded by hunters and tactical shooters who require magnum performance in a compact, manageable platform. Built on Browning's proven X-Bolt 2 architecture, this rifle combines modern ergonomics with time-tested bolt-action mechanics, making it ideal for long-range hunting, field applications, and situations where reduced recoil impulse management is essential without sacrificing terminal ballistics. The .300 Winchester Short Magnum cartridge balances power with controllability, offering superior velocity and energy retention compared to standard .300 Win Mag alternatives while maintaining a shorter action profile.

At 9.15 lbs and 54 inches overall, this rifle achieves a purpose-built weight distribution that reduces fatigue during extended field operations while maintaining the mass necessary for consistent shot placement and recoil management. The 23-inch barrel optimizes velocity development in the .300 WSM cartridge, generating effective energy downrange while the four-round detachable box magazine provides practical capacity for most tactical and hunting scenarios without excessive bulk. The X-Bolt 2 action features a crisp, adjustable trigger geometry that enhances shooter control and reduces pre-travel variables—critical factors in precision shooting where consistency directly impacts target engagement accuracy and follow-up shot capability.

This configuration appeals to experienced shooters in law enforcement tactical units, military applications, and professional hunting operations where a magnum rifle must deliver performance without excessive weight penalty. The compact action and reduced overall length make it suitable for hunting platforms, vehicles, and confined shooting positions while the .300 WSM chambering ensures adequate standoff capability for medium to large game and extended-range tactical engagements. Compatibility with Browning X-Bolt magazines and standard long-action mounting systems means shooters can integrate proven optics, suppressors, and accessories into their operational setup with minimal modifications, ensuring mission readiness and modularity.
