The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed .308 Winchester (Model 036147218) is a compact, fast-handling bolt-action rifle designed for hunters who need maximum maneuverability without sacrificing performance. Featuring an 18-inch threaded barrel and finished in Mossy Oak Bottomland camouflage, this model combines the lightning-fast X-Bolt 2 Speed action with the versatile and widely popular .308 Winchester cartridge.
X-Bolt 2 Speed Action
The X-Bolt 2 Speed features Browning’s refined bolt-action design with a shorter, lighter bolt throw that allows for significantly faster cycling between shots. This improved action provides smooth operation and exceptional strength while enabling hunters to make quick follow-up shots when needed. The Speed model is optimized for rapid manipulation, making it an excellent choice for dynamic hunting situations in thick cover or when quick target acquisition is required.
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed delivers fast cycling and excellent accuracy in a compact 18-inch configuration chambered in .308 Winchester.
18-Inch Threaded Barrel
This model is equipped with an 18-inch threaded barrel, making it significantly more compact and maneuverable than standard-length rifles. The shorter barrel excels in dense timber, brushy terrain, and situations where a full-length rifle would be cumbersome. The barrel is threaded from the factory, allowing for easy installation of a muzzle brake, suppressor, or other muzzle device to further customize recoil and sound suppression.
.308 Winchester – Versatile and Proven
Chambered in the legendary .308 Winchester, this rifle offers outstanding versatility and proven performance. The .308 Win is one of the most popular and widely available cartridges in the world, known for its accuracy, manageable recoil, and effectiveness on deer, hogs, black bear, and other medium to large game. Even with the shorter 18-inch barrel, the .308 Winchester maintains excellent ballistic performance at typical hunting distances.
Mossy Oak Bottomland Camo Stock
The X-Bolt 2 Speed is fitted with a Mossy Oak Bottomland camouflage stock. Bottomland is one of the most effective patterns for wooded, bottomland, and thick timber environments, featuring a mix of tree trunks, limbs, and shadows that break up the rifle’s outline in dense cover. The stock is designed with an ergonomic grip and stable forend for consistent shouldering and accuracy in the field.
