The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite SPR in 7mm PRC (Browning part no. 036131298) is a short-barreled hunting rifle meant to work with a suppressor. Its 20-inch heavy-sporter barrel is threaded 5/8-24 and shorter than the standard X-Bolt 2 lengths, so the rifle stays compact with a can attached. Browning builds it on the Vari-Tech composite stock, which adjusts for length of pull and comb height. A matte blued finish and a spiral-fluted bolt with black flutes round out the package. It is aimed at hunters who want 7mm PRC performance in a handy, suppressor-friendly rifle.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is 7mm PRC, a long-action cartridge built for efficient long-range hunting.
• The barrel is 20 inches with a heavy sporter contour and a matte blued finish, which keeps the rifle short for use with a suppressor.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, a common thread pattern that accepts a wide variety of suppressors and muzzle devices.
• A thread protector cap is included with the threaded muzzle, which protects the threads when nothing is attached.
• The detachable magazine holds 3 rounds, matching the cartridge’s long-action case size.
• Rifling has a 1:8 twist, which suits the long, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets used in 7mm PRC.
• The Vari-Tech composite stock adjusts for length of pull and comb height and has interchangeable grip modules and overmolded grip surfaces, so it fits the shooter.
• The bolt is spiral fluted with black flutes, which reduces weight and gives a smooth, positive grip.
• The DLX trigger is a three-lever design that Browning presets at 3.5 pounds with no creep, take-up or overtravel, which makes precise shots easier to repeat.
• Overall length is 40.75 inches and weight is 6 pounds 7 ounces, short and light for a magnum-class rifle.

Why is the barrel only 20 inches? The SPR version is shorter than standard X-Bolt 2 barrels so that the overall rifle stays manageable when a suppressor is added.
