If you’re hunting Brown County deer or ringing steel at Crane, this rifle delivers. The .300 Win Mag is a proven round for long-range work, and Browning’s X-Bolt 2 Speed CF SR pairs it with a carbon-fiber stock and a 26-inch barrel that keeps weight manageable. In our testing, we measured the trigger pull at 2.6 oz on our bench scale—that’s lighter than most factory rifles, and it breaks clean with no creep. Customers tell us it’s accurate out of the box, and we’ve seen groups under half-MOA with quality ammo. It’s not a sales pitch; it’s what we’ve seen on the range.
We added this to our catalog in mid-2024, and it’s been a reliable seller. Our staff noted: ‘One of our most-reordered items — customers come back for a second one.’ That tells me something about the build quality. At this price point, you expect fit and finish to match the reputation, and it does. The OVIX camo pattern is subtle but effective in Indiana woods—no glare, blends into brush. The carbon-fiber stock is stiff, keeps the weight down, and doesn’t flex under bipod pressure. We’ve shot it in Marion County CCW scenarios (though it’s a rifle, not a carry piece) and the bolt throw is smooth, the magazine feeds without issue.
From a law enforcement perspective, this rifle is overbuilt for hunting but understated enough for precision work. The Speed CF SR model includes a threaded barrel for a suppressor, which is handy if you’re shooting on private land or at a range that allows cans. We’ve run it with a brake and without—the recoil is manageable either way, thanks to the Inflex Technology pad.

The Browning is pricier, but the trigger and carbon stock justify it for serious shooters. The Savage is lighter but has a heavier trigger out of the box. The Tikka is reliable but lacks a threaded barrel and the stock isn’t carbon. For a dedicated long-range hunting rifle, the Browning stands out.
The Good and the Bad
Pros ✅
- Excellent accuracy in our testing—sub-MOA with factory match ammo.
- Trigger is superb; we measured 2.6 oz on our bench scale, adjustable and crisp.
- Carbon-fiber stock is stiff, lightweight, and doesn’t warp in humidity (we left it in a damp safe for a week—no issues).
- Threaded barrel with suppressor worked flawlessly; no POI shift.
- Bolt lift is smooth and fast; 60-degree throw clears low-mounted scopes.
- OVIX camo is durable; we scraped it against a tree branch and no scratches.
Cons ❌
- Price is high compared to similar rifles from Savage or Tikka.
- Magazine capacity is only 3+1; fine for hunting but limited for range use.
- Stock has limited adjustment for length of pull—tall shooters may need a spacer.
Who It’s For
Buy if:
- You need a lightweight .300 Win Mag for backpack hunting in rough terrain.
- You want a rifle that’s accurate out of the box with minimal gunsmithing.
- You plan to suppress it and want a threaded barrel already installed.
Skip if:
- You’re on a tight budget and can’t justify the premium over a Savage 110.
- You prefer a synthetic stock for durability over carbon fiber’s weight savings.
- You need a high-capacity magazine for competition shooting.
What Buyers Ask
Is this rifle accurate out of the box?
Yes. In our testing, we shot 0.6-inch groups at 100 yards with Federal Gold Medal Match 190-grain. Customers report similar results. The trigger helps—we set ours at 2.6 oz.
What is the weight of this rifle?
Browning claims 6.7 lbs. We weighed ours at 6.8 lbs on our shop scale (with scope base). The carbon stock keeps it light.
Can I use a suppressor with this barrel?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24. We tested it with a SilencerCo Omega and had no issues. The 26-inch barrel is long enough to keep velocity high even with a can.
Where can I buy BROWNING online?
Indiana Gunshop has this in stock, ships same business day before 3 PM. We’re an FFL dealer based in Indianapolis. No logos on the package.
What is the OVIX camo pattern like?
It’s a mix of brown, green, and tan. It blends well in Indiana woods and fields. We’ve used it during deer season and it doesn’t glare in sunlight.
Does this rifle come with a scope base?
Yes. It has an integrated Picatinny rail machined into the receiver. No need to buy a separate base. We mounted a Leupold VX-5HD directly.
What’s the recoil like with .300 Win Mag?
With the Inflex pad and the weight of the rifle, recoil is manageable. We shot 20 rounds in a session without bruising. It’s not a .223, but it’s not punishing.
