Description
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Max LR .300 Win Mag 26 Ovix is a long-range precision rifle built for shooters who demand consistent sub-MOA accuracy from a production platform. Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, this bolt-action pairs a 26-inch fluted, threaded barrel with an Ovix Composite Max stock to manage recoil and keep you on target. The Smoked Bronze Cerakote receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, and the package includes an adjustable DLX trigger, Recoil Hawg muzzle brake, and aluminum bipod rail. If you need a factory rifle that bridges the gap between hunting and competition, this one delivers.

Key Features
- 26-inch fluted, threaded barrel — Reduces weight and dissipates heat faster, letting you maintain accuracy during extended strings of fire. The threading accepts standard muzzle devices.
- Ovix Composite Max stock — A rigid, ergonomic chassis-style stock with a raised cheek piece and textured grip panels. It keeps your eye aligned with the scope and absorbs recoil impulse.
- Adjustable DLX trigger — Lets you dial pull weight from 3 to 5 pounds without tools. A clean, crisp break reduces flinch and improves shot placement at distance.
- Recoil Hawg muzzle brake — Redirects gas to cut felt recoil by up to 40%, allowing faster follow-up shots and less fatigue during range sessions or competition.
- Aluminum bipod rail — Integrated into the forend for direct mounting of a bipod. No drilling or aftermarket parts needed for stable supported shooting.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the serious long-range shooter who wants a factory gun that can hang with custom builds. It suits hunters who need reach in open country, PRS-style competitors on a budget, and home defenders who want a precision platform for rural property security. If you reload .300 Win Mag and shoot past 600 yards, this is a solid match.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box, adjustable trigger, integrated bipod rail, effective muzzle brake, Cerakote corrosion resistance.
- Cons: The factory trigger pull is heavier than aftermarket options like a Timney (around 2.5 pounds). Some shooters swap it for a lighter unit. Also, the stock lacks full-length bedding — acceptable for factory, but not ideal for extreme precision builds.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate?
The barrel twist rate is 1:10 inches, standard for .300 Win Mag. This handles bullet weights from 150 to 220 grains reliably.
Does the stock accept AICS magazines?
No, the X-Bolt 2 uses Browning’s proprietary rotary magazine. It comes with a 3-round magazine. Aftermarket options are limited.
Can I mount a suppressor?
Yes, the barrel is threaded 5/8×24 TPI. Just remove the Recoil Hawg brake and attach a direct-thread suppressor. Ensure the can is rated for .300 Win Mag pressures.
What scope base pattern does it use?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for Browning’s X-Lock pattern, which is proprietary. You’ll need Browning-specific bases or a one-piece rail from brands like EGW or Leupold that list X-Lock compatibility.
Is this rifle California compliant?
As of this writing, the .300 Win Mag version does not come with a California-compliant muzzle brake or magazine limiter. Check your local laws before ordering.
