The Browning X-Bolt 2 Western Hunter Long Range 6.8 Western rifle (brand part no. 036105299) was built around a cartridge designed from the ground up for long-range western hunting. Browning finishes it in an OVIX camo pattern that breaks up a hunter’s silhouette on open ridgelines and rimrock country. Its 24-inch barrel and 1:7.5-inch twist are matched to 6.8 Western’s heavy-for-caliber bullets, giving hunters flatter trajectories and more retained energy at distance than older short-action magnums. A 3-round detachable magazine keeps the rifle quick to reload when a follow-up shot is needed on elk or mule deer.
