Description
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Synthetic Creedmoor is a compact, short-barreled bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Browning calls it a ranch rifle, and the label fits: a 16 1/2-inch heavy sporter barrel, suppressor-ready threading, an adjustable composite stock, and a 6-round magazine make it easy to carry in a truck, maneuver in thick woods, and shoot accurately from any position.
Browning X-Bolt 2 Synthetic Creedmoor Overview
The X-Bolt 2 is the next step for one of the most popular hunting rifles Browning has built. The action has been revised with extra bolt guidance for a smoother stroke, and the All Purpose version packs those upgrades into a handy package that measures just 36 1/2 inches overall. The action is bedded and the barrel is free floated, two classic accuracy steps that help each shot land where the last one did.
Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, it offers mild recoil, high ballistic coefficient bullets, and enough energy for deer and pronghorn, which makes it a smart pick for newer shooters and seasoned hunters alike. The short barrel keeps it handy without giving up the accuracy the cartridge is known for.
Short Heavy Sporter Barrel, Ready for a Suppressor
The barrel has a heavy sporter contour that stays stiff and steady despite its short length. It carries a matte blued finish to cut glare and a 1:7″ twist. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, so you can add a suppressor or brake where local law allows. A short, suppressed rifle is quieter for you, your hunting partners, and your dog, and it balances well when you are working through brush or climbing in and out of a blind.
Adjustable Composite Stock
The Vari-Tech stock brings chassis-style fit to a traditional hunting rifle. You can adjust length of pull, comb height, and grip angle, so one rifle can be set up for a tall adult, a smaller shooter, or a heavy winter coat. Length of pull starts at 13 5/8 inches, and the comb and heel can be tuned to line your eye up with a low or high scope mount. Overmolded grip panels add traction in wet weather, and an Inflex recoil pad takes the edge off each shot.
Plus Magazine System
Instead of a short rotary magazine, this rifle uses the Plus Magazine, a single-stack, extended design that holds 6 rounds in 6.5 Creedmoor. It keeps the shoulder-holding feature and center feed of the X-Bolt rotary magazine, which protects bullet tips under recoil and feeds each round straight into the chamber. A side-mounted release button makes swapping magazines quick, even with gloves on.
Adjustable Trigger and Smooth Bolt
The DLX Trigger is a three-lever design with no creep, no take-up, and no overtravel. It comes set from the factory at 3.5 pounds and can be adjusted down to 3.0 pounds. The spiral-fluted bolt has an extended handle and an ergonomic knob, so cycling stays fast and sure when a second shot is needed. The gold-plated trigger blade and Buck Mark on the trigger guard add a touch of Browning style.
