Build and corrosion resistance

This Browning bolt action uses stainless steel construction to minimize the corrosive effects of weather—ideal for hunters operating in wet or coastal environments. The new receiver design adds an additional bolt guidance surface for smoother, faster cycling. A spiral-fluted bolt reduces weight and, coupled with a revised handle and knob shape, makes manipulation quicker in cold or gloved hands. The bolt assembly’s silver nitride finish boosts corrosion resistance further for long service life.

Barrel and muzzle options

The lightweight stainless sporter contour barrel balances accuracy with carry weight. The muzzle is threaded M13x0.75 and ships with a stainless radial muzzle brake and thread protector cap; users can also fit an optional Browning Recoil Hawg Sporter for extra recoil reduction. The action is bedded and the barrel free-floated to promote consistent groups from shot to shot.

Ergonomics and shootability

The standout Vari-Tech composite stock lets shooters configure comb height to align eye relief with optics quickly. Length of pull adjusts internally with spacers for a secure, rattle-free fit, and grip angle can be changed by swapping the sporter and vertical grip modules. Contrasting gray rubber overmolding on gripping surfaces improves purchase in wet or muddy conditions. An Inflex recoil pad at 1-1/4″ thickness reduces felt recoil—noticeable when firing magnum rounds in the field.

Trigger and field performance

The DLX Trigger is a three-lever design delivering zero creep, zero take-up, and zero overtravel, preset at 3.5 pounds and user-adjustable down to 3.0 pounds for a crisp, predictable break. When paired with the bedded action and free-floated barrel, the ergonomics and trigger design let a properly fitted shooter get off an accurate first shot and faster follow-ups.

As a bolt action engineered for field reliability and configurable ergonomics, the BROWNING X-BOLT 2 HUNTER COMPOSITE STAINLESS is a strong option for hunters who want a durable, lightweight rifle that shoots well out of the box.
