The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed SPR (Browning part no. 036010299) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.8 Western and built around a shorter 20-inch fluted sporter-weight barrel with a belled, suppressor-ready muzzle. Browning wraps the action in a new Vari-Tech composite stock finished in OVIX camouflage, adjustable for length of pull, comb height, and grip angle, over a durable Smoked Bronze Cerakote metal finish that outlasts traditional bluing or bare stainless. A new spiral-fluted bolt with an ergonomic knob and a radial-style muzzle brake pair with a 1-1/4-inch Inflex recoil pad to manage the stout recoil of 6.8 Western. Like every X-Bolt 2, it carries a redesigned receiver, a patent-pending adjustable DLX trigger, a short 60-degree bolt lift, and an X-Lock scope mounting system for a rock-solid glass mount.
