Every component is selected and assembled to contribute to the rifle’s accuracy potential and operational integrity, delivering consistent results where precision is paramount.
Key Features
X-Bolt 2 Receiver and Bolt Assembly
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Comp utilizes a robust, precision-machined steel receiver designed for rigidity and consistent lock-up. The three-lug bolt provides a 60-degree lift, facilitating rapid cycling and ample scope clearance. The enhanced bolt design integrates a durable coating to mitigate friction and ensure smooth, reliable operation under varying environmental conditions. This system is engineered for consistent cartridge feeding and extraction, crucial for high-performance applications.
Feather Trigger System
Equipped with Browning’s adjustable Feather Trigger, this rifle allows for a crisp, clean break with minimal overtravel. The trigger pull can be optimized to the shooter’s preference, contributing directly to enhanced shot placement and mitigating shooter-induced error. This precision trigger is a critical component for achieving repeatable accuracy.
Free-Floated Barrel and Crown
The barrel is free-floated, preventing contact with the forend and ensuring consistent harmonics for optimal accuracy. Precision button-rifling further enhances projectile stability. The barrel’s target crown protects the rifling from damage, preserving critical accuracy potential over extended use. The 300 Winchester Magnum chambering is matched with a barrel contour that balances rigidity for precision with manageable weight for field utility.
Inflex II Recoil Pad
Given the 300 Winchester Magnum’s ballistic profile, the rifle incorporates the Inflex II Technology recoil pad. This advanced pad system absorbs and directs recoil energy away from the shooter’s cheek, significantly mitigating felt recoil. This enables more comfortable and extended shooting sessions, supporting better shot recovery and follow-through.
Detachable Rotary Magazine
The rifle features a detachable rotary magazine, designed for reliable feeding without deforming bullet tips. Its flush-fit design maintains the rifle’s sleek profile, preventing snagging in the field. The magazine system allows for quick and secure loading and unloading.
Composite Stock with Enhanced Ergonomics
The Hunter Comp model features a durable composite stock, engineered for stability and weather resistance. Textured grip panels on the forend and pistol grip provide a secure hold in adverse conditions. The stock design integrates sling swivel studs, supporting various carrying and shooting positions. This stock is built to withstand rigorous use in demanding environments.
X-Lock Scope Mounting System
The receiver is drilled and tapped for the X-Lock scope mounting system. This system utilizes four screws per base, providing a robust and secure platform for optic attachment. This ensures consistent zero retention, critical for precision long-range engagements.
