Browning 036067211 X-Bolt 2 .243 Win 22" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Browning X-Bolt 2 .243 Win 22" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle is a versatile, precision-engineered platform designed for hunters, target shooters, and tactical marksmen who demand reliability and accuracy in a lightweight, portable package. The .243 Winchester cartridge delivers exceptional downrange performance with minimal recoil, making it ideal for medium-game hunting, varmint control, and long-range target work. This rifle serves shooters seeking a modern bolt-action platform that balances firepower with shootability across diverse field conditions.

The X-Bolt 2 features Browning's proven short-action bolt system with a crisp, clean trigger break that supports precision fire from 100 to 300+ yards. The 22-inch barrel provides optimal velocity and energy retention for the .243 Winchester while maintaining practical fieldability—the shorter barrel profile reduces overall weight and improves handling in tight quarters or from vehicles. The five-round rotary magazine ensures smooth, reliable feeding and allows fast magazine changes in dynamic shooting scenarios. The modern ergonomic design incorporates a comfortable comb height and foregrip geometry that naturally indexes with both gloved and bare hands, essential for law enforcement and hunting applications in variable weather.

This rifle is well-suited for precision hunters working open terrain, law enforcement tactical units requiring accurate mid-range engagement capability, and sport shooters entering precision rifle competitions. The X-Bolt 2 accepts standard Browning X-Bolt magazines and integrates with common picatinny rail systems for mounting optics and accessories. The bolt-action design ensures enhanced safety control and positive feeding in adverse conditions—mud, sand, and extreme temperatures—making it equally effective in desert, woodland, and mountain environments. Shooters can confidently extend engagement distances with quality ammunition and proper sight-in procedures, supporting both ethical harvests and mission-critical accuracy requirements.
