BROWNING X-BOLT 2 HUNTER COMP 6.8 Western Bolt Action Rifle
The BROWNING X-BOLT 2 HUNTER COMP chambered in 6.8 Western represents a focused engineering effort to deliver a precision bolt action rifle capable of performing across demanding hunting conditions and competitive shooting environments. This platform integrates core X-Bolt design principles with targeted enhancements to optimize accuracy, reliability, and shooter interface.
Key Features
Precision Barrel System
The X-BOLT 2 HUNTER COMP utilizes a cold hammer-forged barrel, free-floated to eliminate contact points that could introduce harmonics and degrade accuracy. The barrel contour is optimized for thermal stability during extended firing sequences, which is critical for maintaining shot-to-shot consistency in competitive scenarios or high-volume hunting applications. This design choice contributes directly to the rifle’s inherent precision potential.
Optimized Action Design
The X-Bolt 2 receiver is precision-machined from high-grade steel, providing a rigid and stable foundation for consistent lockup. The bolt features a short 60-degree lift, facilitating rapid cycling while maintaining ample clearance for larger scope oculars. This design minimizes shooter movement and aids in maintaining a sight picture through the recoil impulse, enabling faster follow-up shots. The three-lug bolt provides a robust and secure lockup, enhancing safety and shot consistency.
Adjustable Feather Trigger Mechanism
KFF Defense recognizes the critical role of trigger quality in precision shooting. The X-BOLT 2 HUNTER COMP incorporates Browning’s Feather Trigger system, engineered to provide a crisp, clean break with minimal overtravel. This fully adjustable mechanism allows the operator to fine-tune the pull weight to individual preferences, mitigating variables that can degrade accuracy and ensuring optimal shot execution.
Advanced Stock Engineering
The rifle’s composite stock is designed for durability and ergonomic performance. Its structure provides a stable platform for precision shooting, reducing flex under recoil or dynamic movement. Integrated is Browning’s Inflex Technology Recoil Pad, which effectively dissipates recoil energy away from the shooter’s shoulder. This design mitigates felt recoil, improving comfort during extended range sessions and enabling quicker reacquisition of the target.
Detachable Rotary Magazine
The X-BOLT 2 HUNTER COMP utilizes a flush-fit, detachable rotary magazine, ensuring reliable feeding and a streamlined profile. This design prevents bullet tips from contacting the magazine walls, preserving projectile integrity and contributing to consistent ballistic performance.
