Description
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Mtn Pro CF 300Win is built for the hunter who demands a lightweight, accurate rifle that can handle the toughest backcountry terrain. Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, this model combines a carbon fiber stock with a fluted stainless barrel to deliver a sub-7-pound platform without sacrificing long-range precision. It’s the tool you reach for when the shot has to count.

Key Features
- Carbon Fiber Stock: Saves over a pound compared to synthetic stocks, so you can carry more gear or stay mobile longer on steep ridges.
- Fluted Stainless Barrel: Reduces weight and dissipates heat faster, helping maintain accuracy during follow-up shots on a cold morning.
- X-Lock Scope Mount System: A two-screw-per-ring design that keeps your optic secure under heavy recoil, so you don’t lose zero when it matters.
- Adjustable Trigger (3–5 lbs): Lets you dial in the pull weight to your preference, giving you a crisp break without creep that could throw a shot at 400 yards.
- Detachable Rotary Magazine: Allows quick reloads and easy unloading when crossing fences or climbing into a stand, with a flush fit that won’t snag on brush.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who hikes miles into public land, sets up on a glassing knob, and needs a rifle that won’t wear them out before the stalk. It’s also for the shooter who values a proven action and wants a .300 Win Mag that handles recoil well without a muzzle brake. If you’re after elk, moose, or big mule deer at extended ranges, this is your rig.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 6.8 lbs, accurate out of the box with factory ammo, durable Cerakote finish resists rust in wet conditions, adjustable trigger lets you fine-tune pull weight.
- Cons: The carbon fiber stock can feel a bit stiff in sub-zero temps compared to a laminate stock, and the .300 Win Mag recoil is stout if you don’t run a suppressor or brake.

FAQ
What is the weight of the Browning X-Bolt 2 Mtn Pro CF 300Win?
Per manufacturer specs, the rifle weighs 6.8 pounds without a scope or sling. That makes it one of the lightest production .300 Win Mag rifles on the market.
Is this rifle accurate out of the box?
Yes. Most users report sub-MOA groups with quality factory ammunition, especially with 180–200 grain bullets. The free-floated barrel and adjustable trigger help you dial it in.
Does the stock have a cheek riser?
Yes, the carbon fiber stock includes an adjustable comb that can be raised or lowered to align your eye with the scope, which is helpful if you run a larger objective lens.
Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?
The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, so you can attach a suppressor. Just note the rifle is light, so a can will shift the balance forward—you may want a muzzle brake for hunting without a suppressor.
