Detailed Features 

1. Bolt Action: The X-Bolt's bolt has a 60-degree throw, shorter than typical 90-degree designs, which aids rapid cycling without disturbing scope alignment. 
    
2. 22-Inch Barrel: Well-suited for .308 WIN, balancing velocity, handiness, and terminal performance at hunting distances. 
    
3. Adjustable Feather Trigger: Factory set between 3 and 5 lbs, adjustable without tools using the included wrench. 
    
4. Steel Receiver with Matte Blued Finish: Conventional blued steel over a fitted receiver, with the OD Green stock providing some contrast. 
    
5. 6.8 lb Weight: On the lighter side for a .308 bolt gun, which benefits carry but means recoil is felt more than with heavier rifles in the same caliber. 
    

Usage Scenarios 

• Hunting: The .308 WIN at 22 inches is effective on deer, elk, and similar North American game at reasonable field distances. 
• Range Work: Accurate enough for precision practice, though the 4-round capacity requires more frequent mag changes than larger box magazines allow.

The Browning X-Bolt Hunter in .308 WIN with OD Green furniture gets consistent positive feedback, with a few areas where opinions diverge.

Accuracy is the most frequently praised attribute. Owners report tight groups out of the box, and the quality barrel is credited for consistency across a range of factory loads. Build quality and the bolt action feel draw similar praise, with users noting the smooth 60-degree throw and the overall refinement relative to comparably priced bolt guns. The OD Green finish gets positive comments, particularly from hunters who want a non-reflective field finish.

The adjustable trigger is mentioned often as a practical advantage. Users who spend time dialing it in report a better feel than many rifles at this price point.

Criticism centers on a few recurring themes. At 6.8 lbs the rifle is lighter than some alternatives, which helps on long carries but means more felt recoil with .308 WIN. Some buyers raise the price point relative to other bolt-action options in the same caliber. A smaller number of users note that aftermarket stock and accessory options are narrower than for more common platforms. Initial scope mounting and zero setup draws minor comments, though that applies broadly to any new bolt rifle.
