Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed SPR 6.8 Western 20" 3rd Mossy Oak Bottomland Rifle

The X-Bolt 2 Speed SPR is Browning's answer to a simple question: how short can a serious hunting rifle get before it stops shooting well. The answer here is a 20" fluted sporter barrel, threaded at the muzzle, wearing a radial brake with a thread protector included for the days you want the muzzle clean. Every metal surface is under a Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish, and the steel receiver comes drilled and tapped so your optic choice is wide open.

The Vari-Tech composite stock is the part that separates this rifle from a standard hunting gun. Length of pull, comb height and grip angle all adjust, so a shooter with long arms and a shooter with short ones can both get behind the same rifle properly. The Mossy Oak Bottomland pattern is dark and muddy rather than busy, which is why it has stayed in the lineup for so long. 6.8 Western is the chambering here, a heavy for caliber cartridge with a 3 round magazine behind it, and pairing it with a braked 20" barrel keeps the rifle manageable in country where you are carrying more than you are shooting.
