The Browning X-Bolt 2 Micro .243 Win rifle is a compact bolt-action hunting rifle from Browning sized for smaller shooters and backcountry carry (brand part no. 036031211). The Vari-Tech stock has a length of pull that adjusts from 12-7/8 to 13-7/8 inches and a 1-inch Inflex pad, and the barrel is 2 inches shorter than standard. The radial muzzle brake sits on 5/8×24 threading that also accepts a suppressor. It gives a youth, smaller-framed or gram-counting hunter a full X-Bolt 2 in a lighter package.
