Browning 036031294 X-Bolt 2 Micro Full Size 6.5 PRC 3+1 22" Matte Blued Threaded Sporter Barrel, Matte Blued Drilled & Tapped Steel Receiver, Adjustable Vari-Tech Black Synthetic Stock

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Micro in 6.5 PRC is a precision rifle engineered for shooters who demand reliability and ergonomic control in a compact, manageable platform. Built on Browning's reconfigured receiver design with enhanced bolt guidance surfaces, this rifle delivers smooth operation cycle after cycle—critical for field applications where reliability under stress separates mission-capable firearms from range-only tools. The 22-inch matte blued threaded sporter barrel threads directly to standard muzzle brakes and suppressors, offering noise mitigation and recoil management options without permanent modification.

The X-Bolt 2 Micro platform prioritizes shooter control through a redesigned bolt handle with ergonomic geometry optimized for rapid manipulation in austere conditions. The adjustable Vari-Tech black synthetic stock features variable length of pull and adjustable comb, allowing precise fit across diverse body frames and shooting positions—prone, bench, or tactical setups. The adjustable, multiple-lever DLX trigger system enables fine-tuning for accuracy-focused work while maintaining safe, predictable breaking. Interchangeable grip modules and overmolded grip surfaces provide secure purchase in wet or gloved conditions. The 3+1 capacity (3 rounds in magazine, 1 in chamber) balances magazine capacity against the compact receiver profile. Total weight of 9.25 pounds keeps the rifle manageable during extended field operations without sacrificing rigidity or recoil absorption.

The 6.5 PRC cartridge delivers extended effective range and wind resistance superior to comparable .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor loads, while generating moderate recoil suited to precision shooting disciplines and hunting applications. The matte blued steel receiver and drilled/tapped design accept standard Picatinny-pattern optics mounts, integrating seamlessly with modern glass or electro-optical systems. This configuration serves precision rifle enthusiasts, long-range hunters, and operators requiring a compact, configurable platform where adjustability and barrel threading are standard features. Browning includes a thread protector for transport and storage, preserving barrel integrity when muzzle devices are not mounted.
