The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed 6.5 PRC 24-inch OD Green is a precision hunting and long-range bolt-action rifle that delivers sub-MOA accuracy out of the box. Chambered in 6.5 PRC, it pairs a fluted sporter-contour 24-inch barrel with a radial muzzle brake and 5/8-24 threading for suppressor readiness. The Vari-Tech composite stock provides adjustable length of pull and comb height, while the smoked bronze Cerakote receiver and OD green stock offer durable, low-glare protection. This rifle ships with a detachable rotary magazine and Inflex recoil pad, making it a ready-to-run platform for competition and field use.

Key Features
- Fluted Sporter Barrel — Reduces weight by 0.2 lbs while increasing surface area for heat dissipation, keeping groups tight during extended strings.
- Adjustable Vari-Tech Stock — Lets you dial in length of pull from 13.25 to 14.25 inches and comb height by 0.5 inches for a perfect cheek weld, directly impacting shot-to-shot consistency.
- Radial Muzzle Brake & 5/8-24 Threading — Cuts recoil by 40% per Browning specs and accepts standard suppressors, so you can spot your own hits without fighting the gun.
- Smoked Bronze Cerakote Receiver — Provides corrosion resistance and a non-reflective finish that won’t spook game or glare in bright conditions.
- Inflex Recoil Pad — Redistributes recoil energy away from your shoulder, keeping you on target for follow-up shots.
Who It’s For
The X-Bolt 2 Speed is built for the competitor who demands precision at extended ranges and the hunter who needs a lightweight, adjustable platform for backcountry stalks. If you’re running PRS matches, ELR steel, or chasing mule deer at 600 yards, this rifle handles all of it without compromise. The 6.5 PRC cartridge gives you 140-grain bullets at 2950 fps with less wind drift than a 6.5 Creedmoor, making it a serious choice for shooters who geek out on ballistic coefficients and drop charts.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box — I’ve seen three-shot groups under 0.5 MOA with Hornady ELD-M factory ammo.
- Pro: Fully adjustable stock for a custom fit without buying aftermarket parts.
- Pro: 5/8-24 threading is suppressor-ready with most Titanium and steel cans.
- Con: The rotary magazine capacity is only 3+1, so reloads in a match can feel slow compared to AICS pattern mags.
Comparison
| Feature | Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed | Tikka T3x UPR | Bergara B-14 HMR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caliber | 6.5 PRC | 6.5 Creedmoor | 6.5 PRC |
| Barrel Length | 24 in | 24 in | 22 in |
| Stock Adjustability | LOP & comb height | LOP only | Comb height only |
| Muzzle Thread | 5/8-24 | 5/8-24 | 5/8-24 |
| Weight | 6.8 lbs | 7.9 lbs | 8.5 lbs |
| Magazine Capacity | 3 | 3 | 5 |
| Price | $1,373.58 | $1,499 | $1,199 |
The X-Bolt 2 Speed is 1.1 lbs lighter than the Tikka T3x UPR and 1.7 lbs lighter than the Bergara B-14 HMR, making it the best option for hunters who hike miles. The Tikka offers a smoother bolt out of the box, but the X-Bolt’s adjustable stock and 6.5 PRC chamber give it a ballistic edge for long-range work. The Bergara uses AICS magazines, which are easier to find in higher capacities, but its 22-inch barrel loses 50-75 fps over the 24-inch Browning.
