The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter rifle in 6.8 Western with a 24-inch barrel and satin-finished checkered walnut stock (brand part no. 036001299) delivers Browning’s redesigned X-Bolt 2 platform with classic wood styling in a modern, heavy-for-caliber long-range cartridge. Browning reconfigures the receiver with additional bolt guidance surface area for smoother cycling, and the new patent-pending adjustable DLX trigger is set to hunting weights out of the box. The action is bedded at the recoil lug and action screws to free-float the Sporter-contour barrel, finished in matte blued, and a bolt unlock button works with the top-tang safety for added safety when checking or unloading the chamber. A short 60-degree bolt lift cycles fast and clears large optics, and the X-Lock Scope Mounting System uses four screws per base for a rock-solid mount. Among walnut-stocked bolt action rifles, this X-Bolt 2 Hunter configuration favors hunters who want classic styling with heavy-bullet long-range performance.
