The original X-Bolt Speed rifle has long been a standout in the field, impressing with its exceptional performance and innovative features. Not only did the Speed rifle break new ground with its straight-shooting features, it was also cosmetically different than other bolt-action rifles with a barreled action protected by a durable Cerakote finish, camouflage on the lightweight composite stock, and a fluted, sporter weight precision barrel. The Speed rifle’s striking appearance was matched by its pinpoint accuracy, earning it a well-deserved reputation for top-tier performance.
Building on the legacy of its predecessor, the X-Bolt 2 Speed is designed for hunters who demand versatility and performance in every environment. Whether chasing Nebraska whitetails or pursuing elk in the rugged Colorado mountains, this rifle excels in any scenario. The X-Bolt 2 Speed retains the lightweight fluted sporter barrel, which makes the rifle both easy to carry and quick to maneuver. The muzzle is threaded M13x0.75 to accommodate the included radial muzzle brake or thread protector cap, and it can also be outfitted with the optional Browning Recoil Hawg Sporter muzzle brake to further reduce recoil. For consistent accuracy, the action is bedded and the barrel is free-floated.
The rifle’s redesigned action and barrel feature a durable Cerakote Smoked Bronze finish, providing superior metal protection that outperforms traditional bluing or stainless steel. The DLX Trigger, a three-lever design, delivers a crisp, clean break with no creep, no take-up, and no overtravel. It’s factory preset at 3.5 pounds but can be adjusted down to 3.0 pounds.
The Vari-Tech composite stock offers enhanced customization with 3-way adjustment, ensuring a perfect fit for any shooter. The stock features the Browning OVIX camouflage pattern for excellent concealment across a wide range of terrains and conditions, along with a thicker Inflex recoil pad for improved comfort.
With the Vari-Tech stock, Browning brings the adaptability of a chassis-style stock to the traditional hunting rifle. The comb height can be adjusted to perfectly align your eye with your optics, while the length of pull is customizable through internal spacers for a solid, rattle-free feel. The grip angle is also adjustable, with interchangeable sporter and vertical grip modules. Rubber overmolding on the gripping surfaces ensures a secure hold, even in adverse conditions.
In the field, split-second decisions can make all the difference. The X-Bolt 2 Speed, with its fully adjustable Vari-Tech stock, delivers a custom fit that feels like an extension of your body. This ensures quicker, more accurate first shots and faster follow-up shots, giving you the edge when it counts.
