Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Bolt Action Rifle - .308 Win - Used; Good Condition
Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter – Next-Generation Hard-Working, Rugged, and Accurate – .308 Winchester
For sale is a
Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter bolt-action rifle, chambered in the versatile and proven
.308 Winchester cartridge. This rifle is in
good used condition and represents the next generation of Browning's legendary hunting rifle – hard-working, rugged, and accurate. The receiver is
drilled and tapped for scope mounting –
no scope is included.
The X-Bolt 2 Hunter builds on the success of the original X-Bolt with significant upgrades. The
receiver is slightly beefier (about 1mm thicker), providing more steel and a larger surface area for the bolt to ride on – this stops binding and results in a
much smoother action. The rifle features
bold spiral bolt fluting and a
redesigned, larger ergonomic bolt handle for faster reloads. The new
DLX trigger replaces the original Feather Trigger – it uses a higher pivot point for a
crisper, lighter break (user-adjustable down to about 3 pounds) with minimal creep or overtravel.
The X-Bolt 2 Hunter features a
non-reflective matte blued finish on the solid steel receiver and barrel, paired with a
satin finish checkered walnut stock and an
Inflex 1.25 recoil pad. It has a
22-inch sporter contour barrel (1:10 twist) and a
detachable rotary magazine (4-round capacity). The overall length is
42 inches and weight is
6 lbs 9 oz.
Condition Notes: This rifle has some cosmetic damage that prevents it from being a collector's piece. The
semi-pistol grip of the stock has been damaged and is heavily cracked in one section. The
bolt handle has been scuffed up heavily. Despite the cosmetic damage, the rifle is
fully functional and mechanically sound. The repair for this would require sending it to Browning or having a woodworking gunsmith repair it – both are costly repairs. For the right buyer, this is an incredible value as a project or a tool if you don't mind the damage.

bolt handle is heavily scuffed but fully functional. For the right buyer, this is an
incredible value as a project or a tool if you don't mind the damage. The rifle is mechanically excellent and fully functional – the damage is cosmetic and stock-related.
