The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed SPR in 6.8 Western is a short-action hunting rifle built around a 20-inch fluted barrel threaded for a suppressor (Browning part no. 036010299). Browning cuts the barrel four inches shorter than its standard lengths so the rifle stays compact with a suppressor attached, and a radial-style muzzle brake and thread protector cap are included. Smoked Bronze Cerakote protects the barreled action, and an OVIX-camouflage Vari-Tech composite stock adjusts for length of pull, comb height and grip angle. The adjustable DLX trigger, short 60-degree bolt lift and X-Lock scope mounting system carry over from the X-Bolt 2 platform. It is a light, handy rifle for whitetail and elk hunting.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 6.8 Western, built on a short action that keeps the receiver and overall rifle compact.
• Barrel length is 20 inches in a fluted sporter contour, four inches shorter than the standard lengths to keep the rifle manageable with a suppressor attached.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 under a belled profile, giving a suppressor-ready thread on the lighter barrel.
• A radial-style muzzle brake is included along with a thread protector cap, so recoil can be tamed in the field or the threads covered when it is removed.
• Rifling twist is 1 turn in 7.5 inches, matched to the heavier bullets this cartridge is known for.
• Magazine capacity is 3 rounds in a detachable magazine, enough for a typical hunting string.
• The stock is a Vari-Tech composite in OVIX camouflage, with adjustable comb height, length of pull set by internal spacers, and interchangeable sporter and vertical grip modules.
• Barrel and receiver wear Smoked Bronze Cerakote, a finish Browning says protects better than traditional bluing or bare stainless steel.
• The DLX trigger is a three-lever design that is preset at 3.5 pounds and adjustable down to 3.0 pounds.
• Weight is 6 pounds 12 ounces with an overall length of 40 inches, light enough to carry all day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this rifle be used with a suppressor? The 20-inch barrel has a belled muzzle with 5/8-24 suppressor-ready threading, and Browning describes the Speed SPR as optimized for use with an optional suppressor. The radial muzzle brake and thread protector cap included with the rifle thread onto the same muzzle.

How does the Vari-Tech stock adjust? Comb height is adjustable, length of pull is changed internally with spacers, and the grip angle changes by switching between the sporter and vertical grip modules. Rubber overmolding on the gripping surfaces adds hold in wet conditions.

How is the rifle set up for a scope? The receiver is drilled and tapped and uses the X-Lock scope mounting system, which attaches each base with four screws. A top-tang safety works together with the bolt unlock button when checking or unloading the chamber.
