Browning X-bolt 2 Brn 036036227 Xb2 Hcmcm Lr Srmb 7mm 26 Ovix/sb

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hells Canyon McMillan LR in 7mm Remington Magnum is a long-range big game rifle engineered for hunters who demand accuracy without compromise. Built on the improved X-Bolt 2 platform, this rifle combines a free-floating, fluted heavy sporter barrel with modern ergonomics and proven reliability. The 26-inch barrel strikes a practical balance between velocity and handling, while the Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish resists the elements in harsh hunting country. This is a rifle for serious distance work on elk, moose, and other large game where precision matters.

The stock deserves its reputation: McMillan's composite Game Scout design wears OVIX camouflage and beds the action and recoil lug for inherent stability. The new Plus Magazine System carries more cartridges than standard setups, and the redesigned spiral-fluted bolt cycles smoothly with a 60-degree throw that clears most modern optics. Recoil management comes from a Recoil Hawg muzzle brake, and the Pachmayr Decelerator pad absorbs what the brake doesn't mitigate. An aluminum 20 MOA Picatinny rail sits on an X-Lock scope mounting system—four screws per base lock optics down hard.

The trigger is Browning's new patent-pending adjustable DLX design, set to hunting weights from the factory. The top-tang safety is easy to reach, and a bolt unlock button provides an extra measure of control during chamber checking and unloading. The receiver includes additional bolt guidance surfaces for smoother feeding and extraction. All told, this is a rifle that looks the part, performs at distance, and won't quit when conditions turn ugly.
