X-Bolt Speed models have a well-earned reputation as reliable straight-shooting hunting rifles. These rifles stand-out from other guns — both in terms of performance and looks — with a barreled action protected by a durable Cerakote finish camouflage on the lightweight composite stock and a fluted sporter weight precision barrel. But a rifle doesn't become a legend by looking good. Fortunately the awesome appearance of the Speed rifle was more than ably backed-up by its tack driving performance. 

Like its predecessor the new X-Bolt 2 Speed SPR is built for the on-the-move hunter with a no-holds barred design that is equally as capable chasing Nebraska whitetails as it is elk in Colorado. It retains features like a fluted sporter contour barrel that keeps the rifle light maneuverable and easy to carry. 

The Speed SPR has the performance-driven features of the Speed rifle and is optimized for use with an optional suppressor. The fluted sporter contour barrel is 4-inches shorter than standard lengths to keep the length of the rifle in check when using a suppressor. The muzzle is belled to accommodate the larger 5/8"-24 suppressor-ready threading. A radial muzzle brake and thread protector cap are included and an optional Browning Recoil Hawg Sporter muzzle brake for extra reduction in recoil can easily be added. The action is bedded and the barrel is free floated for consistent accuracy. 

The Cerakote Smoked Bronze finish is applied to the redesigned action and barrel for metal protection that exceeds traditional bluing or stainless steel. The DLX Trigger is a three-lever design that offers zero creep zero take-up and zero overtravel performance and comes preset from the factory at 3.5 pounds. (Adjustable down to 3.0 pounds.)

The lightweight Vari-Tech composite stock features 3-way adjustment the concealment of Browning OVIX for excellent concealment in a variety of terrain and environments and the new thicker Inflex recoil pad.

With the Vari-Tech stock Browning has a configurable stock with adjustment that is on par with many chassis-style stocks. Adjustments can be easily made to the comb height to dial-in the alignment between your eye and optics. Length of pull is adjusted internally with spacers for a solid rattle-free feel. Even the grip angle can be changed by switching between the sporter and vertical grip modules. On the subject of grip rubber overmolding on the gripping surfaces provides added security in all conditions.

When hunting fractions of a second can determine success or failure. When fit to your dimensions the Vari-Tech stock creates a rifle that feels like an extension of your body so you can get an accurate first shot off sooner and have faster more accurate follow up shots. 

IMPORTANT TWIST RATE NOTE: In 2018 faster twist rates were added to select calibers and the twist rate is indicated on the barrel next to the caliber.  The 6.5 Creedmoor and 26 Nosler became 1-7”.  The 300 Win Mag 7mm Rem Mag and 28 Nosler became 1-8”.  Prior to 2018 the 6.5 Creedmoor and 26 Nosler were 1-8”; the 28 Nosler was 1-9”; the 7mm Rem Mag was 1-9.5” and the 300 Win Mag was 1-10”.
