Key Features
- Carbon Fiber Stock with Adjustable Comb — The lightweight stock shaves ounces off the total weight, while the adjustable comb lets you dial in a perfect cheek weld for consistent shot placement, especially with a scope.
- Spiral-Fluted Barrel and Action — Fluting reduces weight and increases surface area for faster cooling, so you can keep shooting without worrying about heat buildup affecting accuracy.
- Recoil Hawg Muzzle Brake (Threaded 5/8-24) — This brake tames the .300 PRC’s recoil noticeably, making follow-up shots faster and more comfortable, especially from field positions. Thread protector included when you want to run a suppressor.
- X-Lock Scope Mounting System — Browning’s patent-pending X-Lock system provides a rock-solid interface between action and scope base, eliminating any shift under heavy recoil. Your zero stays put.
- Compression-Molded Bedding Block — The bedding block ensures consistent barrel free-float and a stable action-to-stock fit, which translates directly into repeatable accuracy shot after shot.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who hikes miles into the backcountry and wants one rifle that can reach out to 800+ yards on elk, mule deer, or bear. It’s also for the shooter who appreciates a premium, lightweight platform that doesn’t sacrifice accuracy or reliability. If you’re a new hunter looking to step into a serious long-range setup, the X-Bolt 2 Mountain Pro gives you a turn-key solution that’s easy to learn on.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Browning X-Bolt 2 Mountain Pro .300 PRC?
Per Browning specifications, the 24-inch barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for the heavy, high-BC bullets that the .300 PRC cartridge is designed for, like the 225-grain ELD Match or 212-grain Hornady ELD-X.
Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24 and comes with a thread protector. The Recoil Hawg muzzle brake can be removed, and a suppressor can be mounted directly to the threads. Just make sure your can is rated for .300 PRC pressures.
Is the adjustable comb easy to use in the field?
Yes. The comb adjusts via a simple knob and locks securely. You can set it for a low or high scope mount, and it stays put even during rough handling. I’ve used it on a hunt in the Rockies and had no issues.
Does the rifle come with scope rings?
No, the X-Bolt 2 Mountain Pro does not include scope rings. However, it uses Browning’s X-Lock mounting system, which requires X-Lock specific bases or rings. We carry those in-store and can help you pick the right height for your optic.
What is the magazine capacity?
The rifle comes with a detachable box magazine that holds 3 rounds of .300 PRC. It’s flush-fitting and releases with a button at the front of the trigger guard.
