Reducing felt recoil without sacrificing precision is the goal for many long-range shooters and big-game hunters. A rifle that tames .300 Win Mag recoil while offering a platform you can tailor to your body and optics will improve accuracy, follow-up shots, and confidence in the field.

BROWNING X-BOLT II SPEED SR combines advanced recoil mitigation and fit-adjustability in a full-size bolt action built around a potent chambering. Shop this product

Design and Adjustability

The stock uses Browning’s Vari-Tech system, allowing adjustments for length of pull, comb height and grip angle so shooters can establish a repeatable cheek weld and consistent eye-to-scope relationship. The steel receiver is drilled and tapped and accepts X-Lock mounts, making optic installation straightforward for a wide range of scopes and bases. The Tungsten Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-reflective surface for field use.

Ergonomics that matter

Fine-tuning length of pull and comb height reduces shooter-induced error and helps manage recoil impulse by keeping the head and shoulder aligned. Those adjustability choices make the platform adaptable for multiple users or changing gear layers in the field.

Recoil Management and Barrel Technology

Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum and configured 3+1 with a 26″ carbon-wrapped stainless barrel, this rifle balances long-range ballistic performance with reduced weight and increased barrel stability. The threaded muzzle and included Recoil Hawg muzzle brake are engineered to cut felt recoil dramatically — Browning cites recoil reduction up to 76% — which shortens recovery time between shots and preserves sight picture.

The carbon fiber-wrapped stainless barrel resists heat-related point-of-impact shifts and maintains stiffness for better accuracy over sustained strings of fire. For shooters who demand precision out past typical hunting distances, .300 Win Mag offers flat trajectory and terminal performance on large game and long-range targets.

Practical Use and Pricing

At $2,493.99, the BROWNING X-BOLT II SPEED SR sits in the premium bolt-action segment where fit, recoil control and factory-ready mounting solutions justify the investment. Its combination of an adjustable Vari-Tech stock, threaded carbon-wrapped barrel, drilled/tapped X-Lock receiver and effective muzzle brake makes it a versatile platform for mountain hunts, long-range work and precision field use.
