Browning 036080299 X-Bolt 2 Medallion 6.8 Western 3+1 24" Blue Polished Threaded Barrel & Drilled & Tapped Carbon Steel Receiver, Fixed Gloss AAAA Maple Wood Stock, Radial Muzzle Brake

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Medallion 6.8 Western 3+1 24" Blue Polished Threaded Barrel rifle combines precision hunting performance with refined aesthetics. Built on Browning's proven X-Bolt 2 platform, this bolt-action rifle delivers accuracy across extended ranges while maintaining the elegant profile demanded by serious hunters. The 6.8 Western cartridge offers a modern ballistic envelope—producing high velocity with manageable recoil and excellent energy retention at distance—making it effective for medium to large game at both typical and extended hunting distances.

Key specifications position this rifle for consistent fieldwork. The 24-inch sporter-weight barrel with threaded muzzle supports the included radial muzzle brake, which reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise during firing—critical for follow-up shot placement and shooter control in hunting scenarios. The carbon steel receiver is drilled and tapped, accommodating standard scope bases via the X-Lock Scope Mounting System, which uses four screws per base for rock-solid attachment with minimal shift during heavy recoil cycles. The gloss AAAA maple wood stock with rosewood caps delivers both durability and aesthetics, while the gloss blued receiver with scroll engraving reflects the rifle's premium positioning within the X-Bolt 2 lineup.

This rifle serves serious hunters pursuing rifle-caliber game who demand a production rifle capable of delivering consistent accuracy without sacrificing traditional styling. The 3+1 capacity (three rounds in magazine, one chambered) supports typical hunting workflows where follow-up rounds are available but measured trigger control on the first shot remains paramount. The X-Bolt 2 Medallion edition targets buyers who reject tacticalized modern designs, instead preferring the ergonomics and handling balance of a purpose-built hunting rifle paired with genuine wood and metal finishes.
