The Browning X-Bolt 2 All Purpose in .243 Winchester (brand part no. 036041211) is a SHOT Show Special ranch rifle that trades barrel length for handling, running a 16.5-inch heavy sporter barrel that is ideal under a suppressor. Browning threads the muzzle 5/8-24 with a thread protector included, stocks the rifle in OD Green and black Vari-Tech composite with adjustable length of pull, adjustable comb, and interchangeable sporter and vertical grips, and feeds it from the Plus Magazine System at 6+1 capacity. The matte blued finish stays non-reflective in the field, the DLX trigger adjusts within hunting weights, and the short 60-degree bolt lift clears large optics. Among bolt action rifles, this All Purpose favors ranchers and suppressor owners who want a compact, maneuverable .243.
