Browning 036090298 X-Bolt 2 24" 4-Round Threaded Barrel Bolt-Action Rifle

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Medallion in 7mm PRC represents a mature platform purpose-built for long-range precision hunting. This bolt-action rifle combines a carbon fiber-wrapped threaded barrel with a matte blued steel receiver drilled and tapped for scope bases, delivering sub-MOA accuracy potential at extended distances. The 7mm PRC cartridge—a modern magnum chambering—delivers flat ballistics and deep penetration energy suitable for medium to large game at range, while the included Recoil Hawg muzzle brake substantially reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise during firing.

The 24-inch carbon fiber-wrapped barrel reduces overall rifle weight compared to all-steel construction while maintaining rigidity critical for consistency. Threaded muzzle compatibility expands mounting options for brakes, suppressors, or flash mitigation. The Grade V/VI American walnut stock with rosewood accents and gloss finish provides traditional aesthetics paired with functional geometry. The X-Lock scope mounting system uses four screws per base to eliminate zero shift—an engineering choice that translates to reliable impact point retention across heavy recoil cycles and field handling. The 3+1 magazine capacity (three rounds internal, one chambered) is standard for controlled feeding in this class.

This configuration suits hunters and precision shooters who demand accuracy at 300+ yards without compromise on ergonomics or traditional rifle aesthetics. The 7mm PRC platform is increasingly popular among competitive long-range hunters and those transitioning from legacy magnum cartridges. The muzzle brake is particularly valuable for shooters managing recoil in field positions or those using the rifle for training, where quick target reacquisition matters. Walnut-stocked bolt guns remain the standard for serious hunting applications where reliability in variable weather and terrain justifies the weight and complexity of mechanical precision over modern tactical furniture.
