The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite SPR Rifle in .308 Win is a short, suppressor-friendly hunting rifle, built on a short-action receiver with an 18-inch threaded barrel (Browning part no. 036131218). The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 so it takes a wide range of suppressors and muzzle devices, and the barrel is shorter than standard lengths to keep the rifle compact when one is mounted. It rides in an adjustable Vari-Tech composite stock with adjustable length of pull, an adjustable comb, interchangeable sporter and vertical grip modules and overmolded grip surfaces, with a matte blued steel receiver and matte blued barrel. Browning bedded the action and free-floated the barrel for consistent accuracy, and the redesigned receiver adds bolt guidance surface for smoother cycling. The magazine holds 4 rounds, so it suits a hunter who wants a practical field rifle in this chambering.
