Overview
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter chambered in .243 Winchester is engineered for dedicated sportsmen who require uncompromised performance and reliability in the field. This platform integrates precision manufacturing with utility-driven design, ensuring consistent accuracy and rugged durability across varied conditions.
Key Features
X-Bolt 2 Action
The X-Bolt 2 action features a robust, heat-treated steel receiver precisely machined for optimal barrel alignment and lockup rigidity. Its three-lug bolt provides a short 60-degree lift, facilitating rapid cycling and maintaining ample clearance for mounted optics. The bolt body is fluted for weight reduction and debris mitigation, while the polished finish ensures smooth operation. The rifle is drilled and tapped for secure scope mount installation, accommodating a broad range of optical systems.
Barrel Construction
This model features a free-floated, precision button-rifled steel barrel, finished with a matte bluing for enhanced corrosion resistance and reduced glare. The free-float design eliminates contact points between the barrel and stock, optimizing barrel harmonics for repeatable accuracy. A recessed target crown protects the rifling and maintains consistent bullet exit trajectory.
Feather Trigger System
The Browning Feather Trigger is a three-lever system engineered for a crisp, clean break with minimal overtravel. This adjustable trigger allows for precise tuning by the end-user, facilitating consistent shot placement critical for long-range engagements or demanding hunting scenarios.
Stock Design
The Hunter model is equipped with a Grade I black walnut stock, featuring a classic, ergonomic profile. Deep checkering patterns on the forend and pistol grip provide a secure purchase in adverse weather conditions. The stock is finished with a durable, satin blued wood finish, protecting against environmental wear while maintaining a traditional aesthetic. Browning’s Inflex Technology recoil pad is integrated to mitigate felt recoil, enhancing shooter comfort and follow-up shot capability.
Rotary Magazine
The detachable rotary magazine is constructed from durable polymer, ensuring consistent, reliable feeding without deforming bullet tips. Its flush-fit design maintains the rifle’s sleek profile, preventing snagging during movement in dense cover. The design facilitates quick and silent magazine changes.
