Browning 036092218 X-Bolt 2 .308 Win 22" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Full Size in .308 Winchester is a bolt-action rifle engineered for precision and reliability in demanding field conditions. Built on a redesigned stainless steel receiver with drilled and tapped configuration, this rifle accepts standard scope mounting systems and delivers the accuracy hunters and marksmen demand from a .308 Win platform. The 22-inch threaded, sporter-contour barrel features a non-reflective matte blued finish to reduce glint, while the included radial muzzle brake manages recoil impulse without sacrificing ergonomics or hearing protection compatibility.

Key specifications reflect serious design choices. The fixed gray laminate stock provides weather resistance and consistent cheek weld, critical for maintaining zero across temperature and humidity changes. The 4+1 capacity (four rounds in magazine, one in chamber) balances follow-up shot availability with practical field carry. The X-Lock Scope Mounting System uses four screws per base to ensure rock-solid attachment to the receiver—a design standard that exceeds minimum single-screw requirements. At 8.75 lbs, the rifle remains maneuverable in brush or extended stalking scenarios while maintaining enough mass to absorb recoil and vibration without shooter fatigue. The spiral fluted bolt reduces weight and accelerates bolt cycling under sustained fire or rapid engagement sequences.

This configuration serves hunters, long-range competition shooters, and tactical marksmen who require a proven .308 platform with genuine accuracy potential. The .308 Winchester cartridge delivers sufficient energy for medium to large game at practical distances while offering flat trajectory and proven ballistics data. Threaded barrel design enables suppressor or compensator installation, expanding versatility for hearing protection or muzzle control strategies. The drilled and tapped receiver eliminates guesswork in scope base installation, and the laminate stock withstands field use without the maintenance demands of traditional wood.
