Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed HD 308 Win 22" 4rd Bronze Rifle

The X-Bolt 2 Speed HD pairs Browning's second generation X-Bolt action with a stock you can actually fit to yourself. The Vari-Tech composite stock adjusts for length of pull and comb height, and its hand applied bronze and gray camo is matched by smoked bronze Cerakote on the barrel and receiver. The 22" barrel is fluted to shed weight and threaded at the muzzle for a brake or a suppressor, with a thread protector in the box.

The X-Bolt 2 action was a genuine redesign rather than a refresh: a smoother bolt throw, a rotary magazine that drops free, and the DLX trigger, which is user adjustable and breaks cleanly. Browning's X-Lock scope mounting system uses four screws per base instead of the usual two, which holds a zero better under recoil. In 308 Win with four rounds in the magazine it makes a practical deer and elk rifle that will not wear you out on a long walk in, and the threaded muzzle with the adjustable comb means it is ready to run suppressed without any further work. This is a hunting rifle that borrowed the right ideas from the precision world.
