£1,104.00

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Distance Vari-Tech Black Adjustable is a long-range precision bolt-action rifle engineered for shooters who refuse to compromise on accuracy at extended distances. Chambered in .243 Winchester with a 24″ free-floating steel barrel and fully adjustable stock, this rifle combines leading technology with refined ergonomics to set a new personal standard every time you pull the trigger.

Description

Accuracy is built into every element of the X-Bolt 2’s design. Each barrel undergoes three stringent inspections before leaving the factory, and the free-floating barrel is further enhanced by double bedding — positioning the barrel and breech block assembly at two points relative to the forearm, front and rear. This dual-contact system eliminates the pressure inconsistencies that undermine long-range precision, ensuring each shot leaves the barrel under identical conditions regardless of stock flex or environmental variation.

The DLX trigger is adjustable between 800g and 1.3kg — a wide enough range to satisfy both those who prefer a featherlight competition-style break and those seeking a more conservative field-safe pull weight. Whichever setting you choose, the trigger delivers a crisp, clean release every time. The fluted bolt slides into the receiver with natural ease, and the interchangeable bolt handle — compatible with handles from the Browning Maral 4X and A-Bolt 3+ — allows further personalisation to suit individual preference.

The Vari-Tech adjustable composite stock in black with palm swell and tapered forearm provides a highly customisable fit, while the Inflex I Gen2 32mm recoil pad and two included 7mm external spacers allow precise length-of-pull adjustment. This level of ergonomic flexibility is particularly valuable for long-range shooting where positional consistency directly translates into tighter groups downrange.

An integrated Picatinny rail provides a stable, zero-shift mounting surface for any optic, and the 4+1 drop box magazine allows fast, reliable reloading without breaking position. The top tang safety with bolt unlock button allows the breech to be opened safely without disengaging the safety — a well-considered feature for field use. The M14x1 threaded muzzle makes this rifle immediately compatible with a wide range of UK-legal moderators — an important practical consideration for FAC holders.
