The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter COMP in .243 Winchester caliber is engineered for consistent field performance and reliable operation. This bolt-action rifle integrates proven Browning design elements with robust construction, providing a utilitarian platform for discerning shooters and hunters requiring precision and durability.
Key Features
Precision Barrel System
The X-Bolt 2 Hunter COMP features a 22-inch free-floating sporter barrel constructed from high-grade steel, finished in a matte blued non-glare coating. Its precise rifling, with a 1:10 twist rate, is optimized to stabilize a wide range of .243 Winchester bullet weights, ensuring consistent ballistic trajectories. The recessed target crown protects the rifling from impact, preserving accuracy over extended use.
Feather Trigger System
Browning’s Feather Trigger System provides a crisp, clean break with minimal overtravel, critical for precise shot placement. This adjustable trigger allows the operator to fine-tune pull weight to personal preference, enhancing control and reducing potential for flinching, directly contributing to tighter groups downrange.
Durable Composite Stock Construction
The rifle is equipped with a rugged composite stock, designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. The ergonomic grip panels and forend provide a secure hold in wet or dry conditions, mitigating hand slippage. This stock system contributes to the rifle’s overall balance and resistance to impact and abrasion, ensuring long-term serviceability.
Robust Action and Feeding
The X-Bolt 2 utilizes a short 60-degree bolt lift, facilitating rapid cycling and allowing for ample scope clearance. The detachable rotary magazine ensures reliable feeding without bullet nose deformation, maintaining consistent cartridge presentation to the chamber. A top-tang safety mechanism, coupled with a bolt-unlock button, provides secure operation and allows the action to be cycled for safe unloading while maintaining the safety engagement.
Integrated Recoil Management
An Inflex Technology Recoil Pad is integrated into the stock, designed to direct recoil energy away from the shooter’s face, significantly mitigating felt recoil. This feature allows for improved follow-up shot acquisition and sustained shooting comfort during extended range sessions or hunting expeditions.
