Browning 036090282 X-Bolt 2 Medallion 6.5 Creedmoor 4+1 22" Carbon Fiber Wrapped Threaded Barrel, Matte Blued Drilled & Tapped Steel Receiver, Fixed Grade V/VI Walnut Stock, Recoil Hawg Muzzle Brake

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Medallion 6.5 Creedmoor rifle combines precision engineering with classic American craftsmanship. This bolt-action hunting rifle delivers the accuracy and reliability demanded by serious marksmen, pairing a carbon fiber-wrapped threaded barrel with a Grade V/VI walnut stock and matte blued receiver. The included Recoil Hawg muzzle brake significantly reduces perceived recoil and muzzle rise, improving shot placement during follow-ups and extended range sessions. At 8.9 lbs, the X-Bolt 2 Medallion achieves a balanced weight-to-capability ratio ideal for hunters who demand precision without excessive burden in the field.

The 22-inch carbon fiber-wrapped barrel provides velocity optimization for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge while maintaining manageable length for traversing dense cover and vehicles. Threaded barrel design enables direct muzzle brake installation and future suppressor compatibility. The matte blued steel receiver features scroll engraving and X-Lock Scope Mounting System—four screws per base deliver rock-solid scope attachment critical for long-range shooting and hunting applications. The 4+1 capacity (four rounds in magazine, one chambered) offers adequate firepower for hunting scenarios while maintaining a compact profile. Fixed walnut stock with rosewood caps and gloss finish provides both aesthetic appeal and robust ergonomic support.

This configuration serves hunters and precision riflemen who prioritize accuracy at extended distances. The 6.5 Creedmoor delivers superior ballistics over traditional cartridges, with flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift—advantages that matter from 300 yards forward. The X-Bolt 2 Medallion appeals to shooters seeking heirloom-quality walnut and blued steel alongside modern performance features. Whether pursuing elk, mule deer, or benchrest accuracy, the drilled and tapped receiver accepts optics immediately without aftermarket work. The carbon fiber construction reduces overall weight without sacrificing rigidity, essential for field carry and stable shooting positions.
