Browning X-Bolt 2 Western Hunter Special LR 243 Win 18" 4+1 Bolt-Action Rifle

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Western Hunter Special LR is a bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in .243 Winchester, purpose-built for long-range accuracy and field durability in a compact package tailored to western big-game hunting.

Its 18-inch steel barrel uses a heavy sporter contour and is finished in a non-reflective matte blued treatment. The muzzle is 5/8x24 threaded for suppressor or muzzle-device mounting and ships with a protective thread protector installed. The steel receiver is drilled and tapped for optic mounting, and the rifle ships with no iron sights, keeping the package lean and optic-ready out of the box.

The action uses Browning's redesigned spiral-fluted bolt with an extended ergonomic bolt knob and the signature 60-degree bolt lift for fast, scope-friendly cycling. A dedicated bolt unlock button allows safe unloading with the safety engaged, and a top-tang safety keeps the firing-hand grip clean. The trigger is the factory Adjustable Deluxe (DLX) unit, tunable to the shooter's preferred pull weight. The barrel is rifled with a 1:10" twist, well suited to the full range of .243 Win bullet weights from light varmint loads through heavier controlled-expansion hunting projectiles.

Feeding is handled by Browning's detachable rotary magazine for a total rifle capacity of 4+1. The Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock features Browning's VARI-TECH adjustable comb system, letting the shooter dial in comb height for a consistent scope weld without shims or spacers. Overall length is 38 inches and the rifle tips the scales at 6.03 lbs - light enough for all-day carry in rough country, yet heavy enough to ride a barricade and manage recoil comfortably.

The X-Bolt 2 Western Hunter Special LR ships as a complete, factory-built rifle ready for your optic of choice and your favorite .243 Win load.
