The Browning X-Bolt Micro Composite is a compact bolt-action rifle in .308 Winchester. The 20-inch barrel and 38.625-inch overall length, combined with a 13-inch length of pull, make it a natural fit for smaller-framed shooters while remaining fully functional for adults who prefer a shorter reach.

Detailed Features 

 
The sporter contour barrel balances accuracy and weight. It's not a heavy varmint profile, which keeps the 6.5 lb overall weight manageable. 
 
The threaded muzzle brake reduces felt recoil noticeably for a .308. A thread protector is included for when the brake is removed. The threading is already there if you want to mount a suppressor later. 
 
The composite stock has a dura-touch armored coating that provides grip and weather resistance. It's not a soft-feel material but it holds securely in varied conditions. 
 
The Feather Trigger is adjustable, which lets you set the pull weight to your preference rather than living with a fixed factory setting. 
 
The 13-inch length of pull is shorter than the typical 13.5-14 inch standard rifle, which is the core reason this model exists in the lineup. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

 
The .308 Winchester is a proven hunting and precision-shooting cartridge with wide ammunition availability. In a compact platform it's useful for hunters who found standard-length rifles awkward to mount quickly, or for those who want a shorter overall package for maneuvering in dense cover.

Owners of the Browning X-Bolt Micro in .308 respond positively, with the compact fit and accuracy being the most mentioned strengths.

The shorter length of pull and compact overall dimensions draw consistent praise from hunters who found full-size rifles uncomfortable. Accuracy is described as impressive, with tight groupings noted at various distances. The smooth bolt action and overall construction quality come up regularly.

Price is the most common concern. Buyers looking at the X-Bolt Micro against cheaper .308 options weigh whether the Browning features justify the premium. Aftermarket accessory options are more limited than for more established platforms, which comes up in discussions about customization.

The overall tone in discussions is positive, with the rifle seen as well-suited for its intended purpose.
