Browning 036092227 X-Bolt 2 Hunter Full Size 7mm Rem Mag 3+1 26" Matte Blued Threaded Sporter Barrel, Drilled & Tapped Stainless Steel Receiver, Fixed Gray Laminate Stock, Radial Muzzle Brake

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Full Size in 7mm Remington Magnum is a precision bolt-action rifle engineered for hunters and long-range marksmen who demand accuracy and reliability in demanding field conditions. This rifle combines Browning's proven action geometry with modern manufacturing refinements, delivering the repeatability and downrange performance required for extended-range hunting scenarios where a full-power magnum cartridge's velocity and energy retention are essential advantages.

Built around a stainless steel receiver and a 26-inch matte blued sporter-contour barrel with threaded muzzle, the X-Bolt 2 Hunter delivers the velocity profile the 7mm Rem Mag platform is known for while maintaining practical weight at 9.6 pounds. The threaded barrel accommodates a radial muzzle brake, managing recoil impulse and muzzle rise—critical considerations when executing precision shots in variable wind or when multiple shots may be required. The rifle features a spiral-fluted bolt for smooth operation, an X-Lock scope mounting system with four screws per base for rock-solid attachment, and a drilled-and-tapped receiver for optics integration. The fixed gray laminate stock resists moisture and warping in field environments, providing consistent cheek weld and stable fundamentals across temperature and humidity changes.

This configuration suits serious hunters pursuing larger game at extended ranges—elk, moose, and similar species where the 7mm Rem Mag's ballistic performance justifies the recoil and logistics trade-offs. The 3+1 capacity (three rounds in magazine, one in chamber) balances fieldcraft with ready firepower. The stainless receiver and matte blued barrel finish provide corrosion resistance in wet climates and dense brush environments. Shooters transitioning from lighter-recoiling platforms or those new to magnum cartridges will benefit from the muzzle brake's recoil management, allowing focus on shot placement and follow-up accuracy rather than managing excessive impulse.
