Key Features
- Fluted Heavy Sporter Barrel (26”) — WHY IT MATTERS: The fluting reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity, helping you carry this rifle all day while keeping groups tight at extended ranges.
- McMillan Game Scout Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: This composite stock is carbon-fiber reinforced and fully adjustable for comb height and length of pull, so you can dial in your fit for consistent cheek weld and recoil management.
- Adjustable DLX Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: You can set pull weight from 3 to 5 pounds without a gunsmith, giving you a crisp break that matches your preference for precision shooting.
- Recoil Hawg Muzzle Brake — WHY IT MATTERS: The .300 PRC can thump your shoulder; this brake cuts felt recoil noticeably, letting you spot your own hits and stay on target for follow-ups.
- Detachable Flush Rotary Magazine — WHY IT MATTERS: The magazine sits flush with the stock bottom metal, so you don’t snag on brush, but you can still reload quickly without fumbling with internal boxes.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the recreational shooter or hunter who wants to reach out past 600 yards without building a custom gun. If you chase elk, mule deer, or long-range steel in open country, the X-Bolt 2 Hell’s Canyon McMillan gives you a factory platform that’s accurate enough for competition but tough enough for backcountry use.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Factory-threaded muzzle (5/8”-24) lets you swap brakes or suppressors instantly.
- Pro: Smoked Bronze Cerakote resists corrosion and glare in the field.
- Con: The .300 PRC cartridge is expensive and not as widely available as .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor — plan your ammo stockpile ahead.
