Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Grade II 308 Win 22" 4rd Rifle

308 Win in a walnut stocked bolt gun is about as conventional as hunting rifles get, and there is a reason the combination has not gone anywhere. The cartridge covers whitetail through elk with the right bullet, ammunition sits on every shelf in every configuration, and the short action means a compact receiver and a fast bolt throw. The X-Bolt 2 Hunter Grade II gives it a checkered Grade II walnut stock with a satin finish over a matte blued 22" barrel.

308 is also the cartridge most people suppress first, and this rifle arrives set up for it. The muzzle is threaded and wears a radial brake that comes off when a can goes on, and a 22" barrel keeps the rifle handling well with a suppressor hanging off the front. Browning's second generation X-Bolt brought a redesigned receiver and bolt, and the X-Lock scope mounting system anchors each base with four screws for a mount that does not walk under recoil. The stock is a traditional sporter shape rather than a chassis, so it carries in one hand and comes to the shoulder without snagging on a sling or a coat. Four rounds in the detachable magazine, right hand action, receiver drilled and tapped.
