About the Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite is a second-generation X-Bolt bolt-action hunting rifle built around a lightweight composite Vari-Tech stock with an adjustable comb, adjustable length of pull and interchangeable grip modules. The sporter-contour barrel wears a non-reflective matte-blued finish and is threaded M13x0.75 with an included muzzle brake, while the DLX three-lever trigger breaks cleanly at a factory-set 3.5 pounds, adjustable down to 3 pounds. The action is free-floated and bedded and feeds from a detachable rotary magazine. It is offered in fifteen chamberings including the new 22 Creedmoor and 25 Creedmoor.

The 22 Creedmoor that headlines this model started life as a popular wildcat before Hornady standardized it, necking the 6.5 Creedmoor case down to .224 caliber for flat, fast, low-recoil shooting.
