The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability in a lightweight package designed for serious hunters. This .243 Winchester rifle combines proven X-Bolt action technology with weather-resistant materials for consistent performance across diverse hunting conditions. Stainless steel construction and composite stock materials ensure durability while maintaining optimal weight distribution.
What Makes This Different
The X-Bolt 2 action features an improved bolt design with smoother cycling and enhanced feeding reliability compared to standard hunting rifles. The free-floating barrel and adjustable trigger system contribute to sub-MOA accuracy potential. Stainless steel barrel and action resist corrosion in harsh weather conditions while the composite stock maintains dimensional stability across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- Stainless steel barrel and action for maximum corrosion resistance
- Composite stock with textured gripping surfaces and palm swell
- .243 Winchester chambering ideal for medium game hunting
- Adjustable trigger system with crisp, consistent break
- Free-floating barrel for enhanced accuracy potential

Field performance demonstrates consistent accuracy with factory ammunition, typically achieving 1-1.5 MOA groups at 100 yards. The .243 Winchester caliber provides excellent ballistics for deer-sized game while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Stainless steel components resist environmental factors during extended hunting seasons, while the composite stock maintains zero stability in varying temperatures and humidity levels.
