The modern big-game hunter and precision shooter needs a rifle that balances repeatable accuracy, ergonomic controls, and field-ready durability. Carefully engineered updates to the action, stock, and trigger make this rifle a serious contender for long-range work where follow-up shots and comfort matter.

BROWNING X-BOLT II HUNTER is built around a reconfigured receiver with added bolt guidance surface area for smoother cycling, a redesigned bolt with an ergonomic handle, and a matte black drilled & tapped steel receiver that simplifies optic mounting.

Design & Ergonomics

As a Bolt Action platform the rifle keeps proven fundamentals while adding user-focused refinements. The Vari‑Tech stock provides adjustable length of pull and comb height, plus interchangeable grip modules and overmolded surfaces for a secure hold in wet or cold conditions. The factory comes with a sporter grip installed and a vertical sporter grip supplied so you can tailor handling to personal preference. The 1.25″ Inflex recoil pad helps tame the recoil impulse of magnum calibers during long days in the field.

Action, Bolt, and Trigger

The reconfigured receiver increases bolt guidance for smoother operation and consistent lock-up. The redesigned bolt handle improves leverage for rapid cycling between shots. Browning fitted an adjustable multiple‑lever DLX trigger that lets you dial pull weight to your preference for precise, repeatable breaks—critical for accuracy at distance.

Barrel & Threading

The 26″ sporter‑contour threaded barrel in matte black is optimized for an ideal balance of accuracy and weight savings and ships with a thread protector installed. Threading lets you fit a muzzle device or suppressor to control recoil and muzzle rise, useful when working with high-energy rounds.

Caliber, Ballistics, and Applications

The .300 PRC chambering is tailored for long-range hunting and precision applications where retained energy and terminal performance on large game matter. The cartridge delivers flat trajectories and heavy-for-caliber bullets that perform well on steep-angled shots and long approaches, making this rifle a solid choice for mountain or plains hunts where single‑shot accuracy is paramount.

Price for this configuration is $1,012.99, placing it competitively among entry-level magnum-capable precision hunting rifles. View product details and pricing
