Description
Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite 7mm PRC 24in
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite 7mm PRC 24in is a bolt-action hunting rifle built for long-range precision, straight from the factory. It pairs a 24-inch sporter contour barrel with a Tungsten Cerakote finish on the receiver and bolt for corrosion resistance, and the Vari-Tech synthetic stock lets you adjust length of pull, comb height, and grip angle. Chambered in 7mm PRC, this rifle delivers flat trajectories and retained energy past 1,000 yards.

Key Features
- Adjustable Vari-Tech Stock – Why it matters: You can dial in length of pull from 12.75 to 14.25 inches and swap comb inserts for perfect cheek weld, keeping your eye aligned with high-magnification optics.
- Threaded 24-Inch Barrel – Why it matters: Factory-threaded 5/8×24 muzzle lets you run a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith, reducing recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.
- Tungsten Cerakote Finish – Why it matters: The receiver and bolt get a hard-wearing coating that resists rust and scratches, even in wet or salty conditions.
- 7mm PRC Chambering – Why it matters: This cartridge pushes 175-grain bullets at 3,000+ fps, maintaining supersonic flight past 1,500 yards with less wind drift than .300 Win Mag.
- X-Bolt 2 Trigger – Why it matters: The trigger breaks cleanly at 3.5 pounds out of the box, with zero creep and a crisp wall you can tune down to 2.5 pounds.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who also competes in PRS matches or shoots steel past 800 yards. If you want a production rifle that doesn’t need a custom stock or barrel swap to ring targets at distance, the X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite fits. It also suits shooters who value adjustability—different grip modules and comb heights let multiple users share the gun without compromise.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Factory trigger is crisp and user-adjustable without tools.
- Pro: Stock adjustability covers a wide range of LOP and comb heights.
- Pro: 7mm PRC offers real long-range capability without heavy recoil.
- Con: The sporter contour barrel heats up faster than a heavy varmint contour during rapid strings—plan for 3-5 shot groups before cooling.

FAQ
What optics mount do I need for the Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter Composite?
This rifle uses a Picatinny rail (included) with 8-40 screws. You’ll need 30mm or 1-inch rings with a height that clears your objective lens—medium rings work for most 40-50mm scopes.
Does this rifle come with a muzzle brake?
No. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 but no brake is included. Many shooters add a brake or suppressor to tame the 7mm PRC’s recoil.
What’s the twist rate on the 24-inch barrel?
Per Browning specs, the twist rate is 1:8 inches, optimized for 175-grain bullets but stable with 160-190 grain projectiles.
Can I swap the grip module on the stock?
Yes. The Vari-Tech stock ships with three interchangeable grip modules (standard, palm shelf, and flat) so you can dial in hand position.
