The modern hunting rifle must balance accuracy, weight and recoil control so you can make ethical shots at distance and stay comfortable on long glassing and walking days. The BROWNING X-BOLT 2 SPEED delivers that balance with a design oriented toward the mobile hunter who expects repeatable performance in the field.

BROWNING X-BOLT 2 SPEED

Design & handling

The X-Bolt 2 Speed keeps weight down with a fluted sporter contour barrel that makes the rifle easier to carry through timber, draws and steep terrain. The action is bedded and the barrel is free floated, which stabilizes harmonics for consistency shot-to-shot. The rifle ships with an adjustable DLX Trigger and a detachable rotary magazine to match modern hunting needs; Length of Pull is 13 5/8″ and adjustable to fit a wide range of shooters and layering systems.

Recoil control & muzzle options

A standout feature is the threaded muzzle (M13x0.75) that accepts the included radial muzzle brake and a thread protector cap. For hunters who prioritize reduced felt recoil for quicker follow-ups and less fatigue, the X-Bolt 2 Speed will also accept an optional Browning Recoil Hawg Sporter muzzle brake. That flexibility lets you tailor recoil mitigation to your cartridge choice and hunting style.

Accuracy features

With a free-floated barrel and a bedded action, the rifle is engineered for consistent POI retention across varying environmental conditions. The fluted sporter contour balances barrel rigidity and weight savings—beneficial when stalking big game where you need both speed and precision.

What to expect in the field

Whether you’re chasing whitetails in Nebraska or glassing for elk in Colorado, the X-Bolt 2 Speed’s ergonomics and modular muzzle options keep it adaptable. The detachable rotary magazine feeds reliably in tight shooting positions, and the adjustable DLX Trigger allows you to tailor pull weight for safer, sharper shots.
