6.8 Western – Powerful Big Game Performance
Chambered in the modern 6.8 Western cartridge, this rifle offers outstanding long-range performance and terminal ballistics. The 6.8 Western was developed to deliver magnum-level energy with improved recoil characteristics compared to many traditional magnum cartridges. It provides a flat trajectory and strong knockdown power, making it highly effective on elk, moose, caribou, and other large game at extended ranges.
24-Inch Blued Barrel
The rifle is equipped with a 24-inch blued barrel. This longer barrel length maximizes the velocity potential of the 6.8 Western cartridge, resulting in a flatter trajectory and better long-range performance. The blued finish offers solid corrosion resistance and a traditional appearance that perfectly complements the wood stock. The barrel is threaded, allowing for easy installation of a muzzle brake or suppressor.
Premium Wood Stock
The X-Bolt 2 Hunter features a handsome premium wood stock that gives the rifle a classic, traditional appearance. The wood stock provides a warm, natural feel and excellent balance. It is finished to highlight the grain and offers a comfortable, secure grip.
