Modern hunting demands a rifle that blends lightweight handling, repeatable accuracy, and user-adjustable ergonomics. The Browning X-BOLT 2 SPEED answers that call with engineering choices aimed at shooters who expect first-shot precision from a bolt-action platform.

BROWNING X-BOLT 2 SPEED

Barrel and Accuracy Features

The most notable hardware upgrade is the carbon fiber wrapped barrel from Preferred Barrels. These barrels begin as precision-bored blanks that are button rifled and stress relieved before undergoing a full-wrap carbon fiber process that increases stiffness and reduces harmonic variance compared with simple carbon sleeves. The Speed Carbon Fiber package also ships with a Recoil Hawg muzzle brake and thread protector cap, and the barrel is free-floated while the action is bedded for consistent shot-to-shot performance.

Trigger, Finish, and Durability

The DLX Trigger is a three‑lever design delivering zero creep, zero take-up, and zero overtravel right from the factory at a 3.5‑pound preset (adjustable down to 3.0 pounds). For hunters operating in harsh conditions, the Cerakote Tungsten finish on the redesigned action and barrel provides corrosion resistance and wear protection that exceeds traditional bluing or stainless treatments.

Stock, Fit, and Ergonomics

Vari-Tech Composite Stock

Ergonomics are handled by the Vari‑Tech composite stock with three-way adjustment. You can change comb height for optic alignment, adjust length of pull internally with spacers for a rattle-free fit, and swap between sporter and vertical grip modules to alter grip angle. Rubber overmolding on contact points improves purchase in wet or cold conditions, and the thicker Inflex recoil pad increases comfort for heavy-recoiling calibers. Browning OVIX concealment is integrated to reduce silhouette in varied terrain.
