BROWNING X-BOLT 2 HUNTER GRADE II .308 WIN

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Grade II brings together traditional hunting-rifle styling and modern X-Bolt 2 performance enhancements. This 2026 SHOT Show Special is chambered in .308 Winchester and features a 22" sporter contour barrel, Grade II/III Black Walnut stock, and a non-reflective matte blued finish.

The satin-finished walnut stock provides a classic appearance while keeping the rifle comfortable to carry in the field. Cut 18 LPI checkering provides a secure grip, while the 13 5/8" length of pull and 1-1/4" Inflex recoil pad contribute to a comfortable shooting position.

The 22" sporter contour steel barrel provides a practical balance between accuracy and weight. The muzzle is threaded M13x0.75 and includes a radial muzzle brake and thread protector. The rifle's action is bedded at the recoil lug and action screws, while the barrel is free floated to support consistent accuracy.

Browning has updated the X-Bolt 2 action with additional bolt guidance surfaces for smoother cycling. The spiral-fluted bolt features an easy-to-grip teardrop knob, while the short 60° bolt lift provides quick operation and clearance for larger optics.

The adjustable DLX Trigger is a three-lever design that comes from the factory at 3.5 pounds and can be adjusted down to 3.0 pounds. Combined with Browning's Bolt Unlock Button, top-tang safety, detachable rotary magazine, and X-Lock scope mounting system, the X-Bolt 2 Hunter Grade II offers a refined hunting platform built around proven X-Bolt features.

For hunters looking for a classic walnut .308 Winchester rifle with modern action enhancements, a sporter contour barrel, and premium Browning craftsmanship, the X-Bolt 2 Hunter Grade II is an excellent choice.
