Browning X-bolt 2 Brn 036006299 Xb2 Speed 6.8wst 24 Ovix/sb

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed in 6.8 Western is a modern bolt-action hunting rifle built for shooters who demand accuracy without compromise. Chambered in the hard-hitting 6.8 Western, this rifle pairs Browning's refined X-Bolt 2 action with a purpose-built platform designed to handle serious hunting and long-range shooting. The 24-inch fluted sporter-weight barrel strikes the practical balance between velocity and handability, while the radial muzzle brake helps manage recoil so you stay on target through the shot.

What sets the X-Bolt 2 Speed apart is its adaptability to your fit and shooting style. The Vari-Tech composite stock isn't one-size-fits-all—you get adjustable length of pull, comb height, and interchangeable grip options (sporter and vertical) so the rifle shoulders and points naturally for your build. The OVIX camouflage finish blends function with versatility, working across varied terrain. Browning's Smoked Bronze Cerakote action and receiver provide durable corrosion resistance, while the redesigned bolt and receiver geometry ensure smooth cycling and enhanced bolt guidance. A short 60-degree bolt lift means fast follow-up shots and plenty of clearance for modern optics.

The trigger is where precision starts: Browning's new patent-pending adjustable DLX trigger is tuned to hunting weights and breaks cleanly for accurate shooting. Safety features include the bolt unlock button and easily accessible top-tang safety. The barrel is bedded at the recoil lug and action screws, then free-floated for consistency. The X-Lock scope mounting system—four screws per base—locks your optic down securely to the receiver. The 1-1/4-inch Inflex recoil pad keeps your shoulder comfortable through extended shooting sessions.

Whether you're glassing ridges for mule deer, setting up on elk, or punching targets at distance, the X-Bolt 2 Speed in 6.8 Western delivers the accuracy and reliability Browning is known for, with modern features that adapt to how you actually hunt.
