The Browning X-Bolt 2 Mountain Pro is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 7mm PRC with a 24-inch, carbon-fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel. The stock is a one-piece carbon fiber build with foam fill for reduced noise, and the receiver, barrel, bolt, and bottom metal wear a Carbon Gray Cerakote finish. The muzzle is threaded 5/8x24 and comes with a Recoil Hawg muzzle brake and thread protector.

Hunters who pick a Mountain Pro-style rifle are usually chasing weight savings for backcountry carry, and the carbon fiber stock and wrapped barrel on the X-Bolt 2 deliver that without feeling flimsy. The tradeoff owners mention is that a lighter rifle in a hard-hitting caliber like 7mm PRC kicks noticeably more than a heavier hunting rifle, so many shooters run it with the included muzzle brake rather than removing it for a suppressor.

Browning's X-Bolt line has a long reputation for smooth bolt cycling and a trigger that breaks cleanly out of the box, and the DLX adjustable trigger on the X-Bolt 2 keeps that reputation intact according to most owners. The rotary magazine feeds reliably, and the adjustable comb helps get consistent eye alignment with a mounted scope.

Value opinions split a bit: buyers moving up from a standard hunting rifle see the carbon fiber build and Cerakote finish as worth the premium for a dedicated mountain gun, while others feel the price puts it closer to custom rifle territory. Parts and accessory support benefit from Browning's existing X-Bolt ecosystem, including stocks, triggers, and mounting hardware.
