The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter chambered in .243 Winchester (brand part no. 036003211) puts one of the mildest-recoiling deer cartridges into Browning’s refined X-Bolt 2 action. A black composite stock resists weather and rough handling, and the 22-inch barrel gives .243 Winchester room to build solid hunting velocity. The X-Bolt 2’s fluted bolt body reduces weight and friction for smoother cycling, and Browning’s factory trigger breaks clean without aftermarket tuning. With a 4+1 round capacity, the X-Bolt 2 Hunter keeps enough .243 on hand for deer or predator hunting without unnecessary bulk.
