The Browning X-Bolt 2 WST HNT SPL 300WIN # is a purpose-built Western hunting rifle that pairs a lightweight synthetic stock with the proven accuracy of the X-Bolt action. Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, it delivers the flat trajectory and downrange energy needed for open-country mule deer, elk, and pronghorn. This is a rifle that gets you on target fast and keeps you there, shot after shot.

Key Features
- Lightweight Synthetic Stock: This stock shaves off ounces without sacrificing rigidity, making it easier to carry on long ridge hikes without fatigue.
- X-Bolt Action with 60° Bolt Lift: The short bolt throw allows for faster follow-up shots and keeps your eye on the target during cycling.
- Free-Floated Barrel: The barrel doesn’t touch the stock, which minimizes pressure points and delivers consistent accuracy shot after shot.
- Detachable Box Magazine: Reloading is quick and safe, and you can carry a spare magazine for fast ammo swaps in the field.
- Inflex Technology Recoil Pad: The progressive padding absorbs .300 Win Mag’s punch, keeping you comfortable during extended range sessions.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the Western hunter who covers ground. If you’re chasing elk across sagebrush basins or glassing for mule deer at 400 yards, the X-Bolt 2 WST HNT SPL is your partner. It also suits the recreational shooter who wants a magnum rifle that’s not a pain to carry or shoot.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight for a magnum, accurate free-floated barrel, smooth 60° bolt lift, effective recoil pad.
- Cons: The synthetic stock lacks the warmth of wood; some shooters prefer a more traditional feel. Also, .300 Win Mag ammo is pricier than standard calibers.
