The X-Bolt 2 Speed platform is Browning's take on a compact, hard-use hunting rifle, and this short precision configuration pairs a 20-inch barrel with 6.8 Western. That cartridge was designed around long, heavy-for-caliber bullets in a short action, and it hits noticeably harder than a .270 while staying manageable at the shoulder, making it a strong all-around western big game round. The stainless barreled action resists the weather that comes with late-season hunts, and the shorter barrel keeps the rifle quick to handle in timber or from a truck.

An adjustable trigger and detachable rotary magazine carry over from the X-Bolt 2 line.
