Owners drawn to the X-Bolt 2 Medallion Carbon Fiber cite the contrast between the polished blue metal and the Grade V/VI walnut stock as the primary reason they chose it over other configurations. It reads as a traditional-looking rifle with a modern barrel material underneath, which appeals to buyers who want both aesthetics and weight reduction.

The 24-inch carbon fiber barrel in 7mm PRC gets favorable comments for its balance; the rifle feels lighter at the muzzle than steel-barreled alternatives. The Recoil Hawg brake is considered effective, though a few owners note the muzzle blast is noticeable to adjacent shooters on a range.

At the top of the X-Bolt 2 Medallion price range, this configuration attracts buyers who see the Grade V/VI walnut as a collectible-grade element. Value opinion is split: collectors consider it reasonable, while practical hunters question whether the walnut grade is worth the premium over a synthetic-stocked option.
