Overview

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite Stainless in .30-06 pairs a matte stainless receiver and 22-inch sporter barrel with a black Vari-Tech stock. The stock lets the shooter adjust length of pull and comb height, then swap between sporter and vertical grip modules. Gray overmolded grip panels and a 1.25-inch Inflex recoil pad give the rifle a secure field hold and soften the cartridge's recoil.

The long-action model uses Browning's four-round detachable rotary magazine, a 60-degree bolt lift, and the adjustable DLX trigger. Browning beds the action and free-floats the barrel. The M13x0.75 muzzle accepts the included stainless radial brake or thread protector, but it is not the common 5/8x24 pitch used by many .30-caliber direct-thread accessories.

Cons
