The Browning X-Bolt 2 Mountain Pro CF is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, built around a second-generation carbon fiber stock and a wrapped carbon fiber barrel. The 26 inch barrel is threaded at the muzzle and ships with a Recoil Hawg muzzle brake, and the stock has an adjustable comb along with a Picatinny rail for bipod mounting. The stainless steel receiver and barrel components carry a Carbon Gray Cerakote finish for corrosion resistance.

Owners of the X-Bolt 2 line generally describe the rifle as well built and consistent, with the carbon fiber stock and bedding block construction cited as steady under recoil from a magnum cartridge. Some hunters note that a 7mm Rem Mag in a lightweight mountain rifle still has noticeable recoil, which is the tradeoff for shaving weight off a pack.

In the field, the adjustable comb and Picatinny rail for bipod mounting get praise for making the rifle easy to configure for different shooting positions, and the threaded barrel is popular with hunters who run a suppressor on backcountry hunts. A few owners mention the price premium of the carbon fiber build compared to a standard X-Bolt.

On value, the DLX trigger is frequently called out as crisp out of the box, and the Cerakote finish holds up well to weather exposure. Aftermarket support for the X-Bolt platform is considered solid given Browning's market position, though some shooters feel the Mountain Pro commands a steep price for a carbon fiber and weight upgrade over other X-Bolt 2 variants.
