The Browning X-Bolt 2 All Purpose chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor (brand part no. 036109282) trims the barrel to just 16.5 inches, giving hunters a genuinely short, maneuverable rifle for close cover or a treestand where a longer barrel becomes a liability. A blued metal finish over a black synthetic stock keeps maintenance simple, and 6.5 Creedmoor still delivers the flat trajectory and mild recoil it is known for even out of the shorter barrel. Browning’s X-Bolt 2 action carries a fluted bolt body and refined factory trigger, and the 4-round magazine keeps ammunition on hand without adding bulk. For hunters who value a short, quick-handling rifle above outright barrel length, the All Purpose delivers.
