The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed Carbon Fiber .308 Winchester is a short-action hunting rifle that weighs just over six pounds with a carbon-wrapped barrel and a Recoil Hawg brake (Browning part no. 036034218). Browning mounts a 22-inch Preferred Barrels stainless barrel, wrapped in carbon fiber, to the X-Bolt 2 action in Tungsten Cerakote and drops it into the adjustable Vari-Tech stock with OVIX camo. The .308 Winchester is a proven all-around choice for whitetail, hogs and western game, and a 4-round detachable magazine keeps the rifle flexible in the field. It is built for hunters who want a light rifle without giving up threads, a brake or an adjustable fit.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .308 Winchester, a short-action cartridge with a wide range of factory hunting loads.
• Barrel length is 22 inches in a heavy sporter contour, which gives a short, handy rifle that still carries the cartridge’s velocity.
• The barrel is stainless steel wrapped in carbon fiber, a construction that cuts weight and stiffens the barrel.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 and suppressor-ready, giving the shooter a choice of brake, thread protector or suppressor.
• A Recoil Hawg muzzle brake is included and is rated to reduce felt recoil by up to 76 percent.
• The receiver and bolt carry a Tungsten Cerakote finish, which protects better than traditional bluing and resists wear.
• The Vari-Tech composite stock in OVIX camo adjusts for length of pull, comb height and grip angle, so one rifle can fit a range of shooters and optics.
• Capacity is 4 rounds in a detachable rotary magazine, a practical count for a short-action hunting rifle.
• Twist rate is 1:10 inches, a classic rate for the .308 Winchester bullets most hunters use.
