Description
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed HD 243 Win is a lightweight bolt-action hunting rifle in 243 Win built for hunters who cover ground. It pairs a 22-inch suppressor-ready sporter barrel with Smoked Bronze Cerakote metal and a hand-finished bronze and gray camo stock, and it tips the scale at only about 6 lbs 12 oz.
Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed HD 243 Win Overview
For years the Browning Speed line has stood out in the deer woods and the high country. It looks different from a typical bolt gun, with a Cerakote-protected barreled action and a camo composite stock, and it backs up those looks with straight-shooting accuracy. The X-Bolt 2 version moves to a redesigned receiver with an added bolt guidance surface for smoother, faster cycling. The action is bedded and the barrel is free floated for consistent groups.
The 243 Win is a classic for deer, pronghorn, and varmints. It shoots flat, recoils lightly, and is easy for newer or smaller-framed hunters to master, while still carrying enough energy for clean shots on whitetails with good bullets.
Sporter Barrel, Ready for a Suppressor
The 22-inch steel barrel has a sporter contour that keeps weight down without sacrificing accuracy, a 1:10 twist suited to common 243 bullet weights, and 5/8-24 threading at the muzzle for a suppressor or brake where local law allows. A suppressed 243 is pleasant to shoot, easy on your hearing, and lets you see your own hits through the scope.
Smoked Bronze Cerakote Finish
The action and barrel wear a Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish. Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that resists scratches, moisture, and corrosion better than traditional bluing, so the rifle holds up to rain, snow, sweat, and rough handling in a truck or saddle scabbard. The bronze tone also cuts glare and gives the rifle its signature look.
Three-Way Adjustable Stock
The lightweight Vari-Tech composite stock adjusts three ways. Comb height can be raised to line your eye up with your optic. Length of pull changes internally with spacers for a solid, rattle-free fit. Grip angle can be changed by swapping between sporter and vertical grip modules. Rubber overmolding on the gripping surfaces adds control in wet or cold weather, and a thicker Inflex recoil pad softens each shot. A bronze and gray camo finish is hand-applied to the stock, blending into many environments and matching the bronze metal.
Adjustable Trigger and Detachable Magazine
The DLX Trigger is a three-lever design with zero creep, zero take-up, and zero overtravel. It comes preset at 3.5 pounds and can be adjusted down to 3.0 pounds. Rounds feed from a detachable magazine that holds 4 rounds of 243 Win, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for easy scope mounting.
