Key Features
- X-Bolt 2 Action – WHY IT MATTERS: The three-lug bolt with 60-degree lift provides fast cycling and consistent lockup, critical for follow-up shots and maintaining zero during extended strings.
- .300 PRC Chambering – WHY IT MATTERS: This cartridge delivers flatter trajectories and higher retained energy than standard .30-caliber magnums, giving you reliable terminal performance at distances beyond 1,000 meters.
- Adjustable Comb Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: You can dial in cheek weld height for perfect scope alignment, reducing parallax error and improving shot consistency across varying shooting positions.
- Browning Feather Trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: The adjustable, crisp break minimizes trigger pull weight variation, directly contributing to tighter groups and more predictable shot placement under field stress.
- Fluted Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces overall weight without sacrificing stiffness, aiding in faster target reacquisition and less fatigue during long-range sessions.

This rifle is for law enforcement snipers, military precision marksmen, and serious long-range shooters who need a production rifle that performs like a custom build. It suits operators who require a durable, field-ready platform for engagements from 500 to 1,500 yards, and who value mechanical consistency over flashy features.

FAQ
What is the effective range of the Browning X-Bolt 2 WST HNT SPL LR .300 PRC?
With match-grade ammunition, this rifle is capable of consistent hits on man-sized targets out to 1,200 meters. The .300 PRC cartridge retains supersonic velocity beyond 1,500 yards, but practical accuracy depends on shooter skill and environmental conditions.
Does this rifle come with a scope?
No. The Browning X-Bolt 2 WST HNT SPL LR is sold as a barreled action and stock only. You will need to mount your own optics and rings, which is standard for precision-oriented rifles.
Is the trigger adjustable without tools?
The Feather Trigger is adjustable for pull weight using a small hex key (included). You can fine-tune from 2.5 to 4.0 pounds without disassembling the rifle.
Can I use this rifle for hunting?
Yes, but it is optimized for long-range precision. The .300 PRC is legal for large game in most states, though the rifle’s weight and stock design are better suited for stationary or prone shooting than spot-and-stalk hunting.
What is the barrel twist rate?
The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes heavy .30-caliber bullets (200-225 grains) commonly used in .300 PRC loads.
