Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed HD 270 Win 22" 4rd Bronze Rifle

270 Winchester has been putting deer and elk on the ground since 1925, and the X-Bolt 2 Speed HD is a modern platform for it. Browning fits a 22" fluted sporter weight barrel, threaded at the muzzle with a thread protector included, finished in smoked bronze Cerakote to match the receiver. The Vari-Tech composite stock adjusts for both length of pull and comb height, which matters more than most hunters realize once a scope goes on, and its hand applied bronze and gray camo pattern keeps the whole rifle visually of a piece.

The second generation X-Bolt action improved the bolt throw and the magazine, and the DLX trigger is adjustable with a clean break. The X-Lock scope mounting system anchors each base with four screws rather than two, so a zero survives recoil and travel. Four rounds in the rotary magazine, a receiver that is drilled and tapped, and a flat shooting cartridge with almost a century of field results behind it. For open country hunting where shots stretch out, this is a straightforward and honest rifle with no gimmicks bolted on.
