2025 SHOT Show Special – Experience Total Accuracy with the X-Bolt 2 Speed. This new bolt-action rifle features a new Flat Dark Earth Vari-Tech composite stock with contrasting black sections and rubber overmolding.
Overview
The original X-Bolt Speed rifle has been a top performer in the field for several years. Not only did the Speed rifle break new ground with its straight-shooting features, it was also cosmetically different than other bolt-action rifles with a barreled action protected by a durable Cerakote finish, camouflage on the lightweight composite stock, and a fluted, sporter weight precision barrel. The awesome appearance of the Speed rifle was more than ably backed up by its tack driving performance.
This new model is designed to blend into the dry landscapes of the west, dropping the camo in favor of a Flat Dark Earth composite stock with black accents and overmolded grip panels. Desert Shadow Cerakote shields the barreled action from the elements.
Like its predecessor, the X-Bolt 2 Speed is built for the on-the-move hunter with a no-holds barred design. It retains features like a fluted sporter contour barrel that keeps the rifle light, maneuverable and easy to carry. The muzzle is threaded 5/8"-24 to accept the included radial muzzle brake, thread protector cap, or install a muzzle brake for extra reduction in recoil. The action is bedded and the barrel is free floated for consistent accuracy.
The Cerakote Smoked Bronze finish is applied to the redesigned action and barrel for metal protection that exceeds traditional bluing or stainless steel. The DLX Trigger is a three-lever design that offers zero creep, zero take-up, and zero overtravel performance and comes preset from the factory at 3.5 pounds. (Adjustable down to 3.0 pounds.)
The lightweight Vari-Tech composite stock features 3-way adjustment, the concealment of Browning OVIX for excellent concealment in a variety of terrain and environments, and the new, thicker Inflex recoil pad.
With the Vari-Tech stock, Browning has a configurable stock with adjustment that is on par with many chassis-style stocks. Adjustments can be easily made to the comb height to dial-in the alignment between your eye and optics. Length of pull is adjusted internally with spacers for a solid, rattle-free feel. Even the grip angle can be changed by switching between the sporter and vertical grip modules. Regarding grip, rubber overmolding on the gripping surfaces provides added security in all conditions.
When hunting, fractions of a second can determine success or failure. When fit to your dimensions, the Vari-Tech stock creates a rifle that feels like an extension of your body so you can get an accurate first shot off sooner and have faster, more accurate follow up shots.
