Mountain hunters and serious backcountry shooters demand rifles that balance light carry weight with pinpoint accuracy. The Browning X-Bolt Speed delivers that balance by pairing a sporter-weight, fluted barrel with precision features tailored for steep terrain and long glassing hours.

BROWNING BROWNING X-BOLT

Design and Purpose

The Browning X-Bolt Speed is built as a true mountain rifle: light, maneuverable and accurate. This bolt action platform features a fluted sporter contour barrel that trims weight without sacrificing rigidity. The free-floated barrel profile helps deliver consistent groups as the barrel cools or the temperature changes during long days afield.

Key Features & Tactical Details

Barrel and Muzzle Options

The 24″ sporter-weight barrel is fluted for weight savings and faster cooling. It ships threaded M13x0.75 to accept the included radial muzzle brake or a thread protector cap. Shooters can swap to Browning’s Recoil Hawg Sporter muzzle brake for added recoil control. For those prioritizing accuracy and repeatable point of impact, the barrel is free floated from the action — a critical detail for mountain hunting where every shot counts.

Stock, Finish, and Carry

A composite stock clad in Browning OVIX Camo provides low weight and durability in exposed conditions. The rifle’s Cerakote Smoked Bronze finish resists corrosion and wear while keeping reflective surfaces to a minimum in the field.

Caliber, Condition, and Pricing

This listing references a 6.8 WST chambering — a modern, flat-shooting cartridge ideal for medium to large game at extended ranges. The specific rifle described was lightly used and only fired 16 times, making it a strong value proposition at the listed price of $900.99 for a mountain-ready package.

Field Use Recommendations

Pack this rifle for ridge-top stalks and long approaches where weight and balance matter. Pair with a light, high-quality optic and carry loads that match 6.8 WST ballistics to maximize the effective range. The threaded muzzle offers options for recoil mitigation or suppression-ready setups where legal.
