The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed Rifle, 6.5 Creedmoor, 22-Inch Threaded Barrel with Radial Muzzle Brake, FDE/Desert Shadow, 4-Round (Browning part no. 036066282) is a short action bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Browning builds it around the adjustable Vari-Tech composite stock and the redesigned X-Bolt 2 receiver. The 22-inch fluted barrel is threaded 5/8-24 for the included radial muzzle brake, with Desert Shadow Cerakote on the barreled action. It feeds from a 4-round detachable magazine and weighs 6 pounds 10 ounces. That mix of light handling, adjustable fit and a recoil-taming muzzle device suits the hunter who covers ground on foot and still wants a rifle that shoots flat.
