The Browning X-Bolt 2 Western Hunter Special SPR rifle in .243 Winchester (brand part no. 036119211) shortens the standard Western Hunter Special down to an 18-inch barrel, giving hunters a compact, quick-handling rifle for tight cover and mountain carry. Browning cuts the barrel with a 1:10-inch twist to match common .243 Winchester bullet weights, and the rifle feeds from a detachable 4+1 magazine. The bolt-action receiver carries a tang safety for quick thumb access, and the shorter SPR barrel trims weight and overall length without giving up chambering versatility. Among compact hunting rifles in the bolt action rifles category, this X-Bolt 2 favors .243 Winchester hunters who want a shorter, lighter carry rifle.
