The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed Kryptek Transitional in .243 Win is a lightweight short-action hunting rifle with a fluted 22-inch barrel, a threaded muzzle and a radial muzzle brake (Browning part no. 036138211). Its Vari-Tech composite stock wears Kryptek Obskura Transitional camo, while the action and barrel carry a Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish. The .243 Winchester chambering is a favorite for deer, antelope and varmints because it shoots flat and recoils gently. Browning adds a redesigned receiver and bolt, so the rifle runs smoothly in the field. This is a rifle for the hunter who is always on the move.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .243 Winchester, a mild-recoiling short-action round that suits deer, antelope and varmints.
• The barrel is 22 inches with a fluted sporter contour, which sheds weight and keeps the rifle maneuverable.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, so it accepts the included muzzle brake, the thread protector or a suppressor-ready accessory.
• A radial muzzle brake comes with the rifle to reduce felt recoil, and a thread protector is included for when it is removed.
• Magazine capacity is 4 rounds in a detachable magazine, plus one in the chamber.
• The rifling twist is 1:10, a rate matched to the bullet weights typical for .243 Winchester.
• The Vari-Tech composite stock is finished in Kryptek Obskura Transitional camo and adjusts for length of pull and comb height.
• Interchangeable sporter and vertical grip modules let you change the grip angle, and rubber overmolding adds traction in wet conditions.
• The action and barrel have a Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish, which Browning positions as more protective than traditional bluing.
• The DLX trigger is preset at 3.5 pounds and adjustable down to 3.0 pounds, while a top-tang safety sits within easy reach.
