The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed HD .243 Win (Browning part no. 036142211) is a lightweight short-action big game rifle with a fluted sporter barrel and a Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish on the barrel and receiver. Browning fits it with the adjustable Vari-Tech composite stock in hand-applied bronze and gray camouflage, with black overmolded grip surfaces.
