Description
This is the Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter in .243 Winchester, with a 22-inch barrel and a walnut stock. It’s a no-nonsense hunting rifle for the Hoosier who wants a lightweight, accurate shooter that’ll put venison in the freezer. We started stocking this in mid-2024, and it’s become one of our steady sellers in this category. The key benefit here is the new X-Bolt 2 action — smoother, faster lock time, and a crisp trigger that makes hitting your mark feel automatic.
Key Highlights
- New X-Bolt 2 Action: Redesigned bolt with 60-degree lift and a faster lock time for quick follow-up shots.
- Walnut Stock: Grade I/II walnut with a satin finish — looks good, handles even better in cold weather.
- .243 Winchester: Flat-shooting, low-recoil round ideal for deer, antelope, and varmints.
- Inflex Technology Recoil Pad: Reduces felt recoil and keeps the rifle planted on your shoulder.
- Detachable Box Magazine: 4-round capacity, easy to load and unload without fumbling.

What Buyers Ask
Does this rifle come with a scope?
No, the X-Bolt 2 Hunter is sold as a bare rifle. It has a drilled and tapped receiver for scope mounts, and we carry a good selection of rings and bases if you need them.
Is this the same as the original X-Bolt?
No. The X-Bolt 2 has a redesigned bolt, a new trigger system, and a different barrel contour. It’s a genuine upgrade — smoother cycling, better accuracy out of the box. Staff note: ‘Had a customer drive 3 hours to pick this up instead of waiting for shipping. That says something.’
What’s the warranty on this rifle?
Browning backs the X-Bolt 2 with a limited lifetime warranty for the original owner. We handle warranty claims in-store — just bring it back or give us a call.
