Owners of the X-Bolt 2 Hunter in .308 Win frequently point to consistent accuracy as the main reason for choosing the rifle. The threaded stainless barrel is a practical feature for those who run brakes or plan to add a suppressor, and the .308 Win chambering keeps ammunition options wide. Many hunters use it as a dual-purpose deer and long-range target rifle.

The Vari-Tech adjustable stock is a notable improvement over fixed stock designs, and owners who tried the adjustable length of pull tend to appreciate the difference in field positions. The stainless steel combination resists surface rust in wet environments, which matters for hunters who do not want to spend significant time on metal maintenance.

The trigger on the X-Bolt 2 splits opinions. Most owners find it acceptable out of the box, but a portion of buyers who came from other bolt guns say the reset and pull weight do not match what they were used to. Value is generally seen as fair relative to comparable stainless bolt guns, with the Vari-Tech stock and threaded barrel adding concrete utility.
