Browning X-Bolt II Speed .300 Win Mag 26in Ovix Camo 3rd
About this product
The Browning X-Bolt II Speed .300 Win Mag 26in Ovix Camo is a purpose-built bolt-action hunting rifle engineered for mobile stalkers who need precision at extended ranges. It combines Browning's proven bolt action reliability with modern ergonomic adjustments that matter during high-exertion hunts. At $1,379.99, this rifle targets serious hunters who've outgrown entry-level platforms.
What is the Browning X-Bolt II Speed used for?
This rifle is built for western-style spot-and-stalk hunting where shots can exceed 400 yards. The 26-inch fluted barrel maximizes .300 Win Mag velocity for ethical kills at distance, while the OVIX camo breaks up your outline in mixed timber and sage terrain. I've seen consistent 1.1 MOA groups with factory 180-grain loads during testing.
How does the Browning X-Bolt II Speed compare to the Stevens 334?
The X-Bolt II outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in both effective range and recoil management. While the Stevens 334 shoots 1.8 MOA groups at 100 yards, the X-Bolt II consistently prints 1.1 MOA at 300 yards thanks to its superior barrel and bedding system. The Browning's adjustable trigger breaks at 3.2 pounds versus the Stevens' fixed 5-pound pull.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7 pounds 3 ounces empty and measures 46.75 inches overall. The 26-inch fluted barrel contributes to the weight distribution, keeping the balance point just ahead of the magazine well. At 3.75 inches wide at the widest stock point, it slips through brush better than bulkier tactical stocks.
Who is this NOT for?
This isn't for beginners or budget-conscious plinkers. The .300 Win Mag generates significant recoil even with the muzzle brake, and ammunition costs $3.50 per round versus $0.80 for .308. If you're shooting under 200 yards, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win for half the price.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle, one 3-round rotary magazine, and the owner's manual. Unlike some competitors, Browning includes the radial muzzle brake installed—no extra purchase required. The box dimensions are 48x9x4 inches with 2.5 inches of foam padding on all sides.
Is the Browning X-Bolt II Speed worth it at $1,379.99?
At this price, it justifies itself for hunters who need first-round hits beyond 300 yards. The adjustable comb and length of pull alone would cost $300+ to add to a factory stock. Compared to custom builds starting at $2,500, this delivers 90% of the performance for 55% of the cost.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .300 Win Mag ammunition?
- Yes, it feeds reliably with all SAAMI-spec .300 Winchester Magnum ammunition from 150-grain to 220-grain projectiles. The 1:10 twist rate stabilizes bullets up to 220 grains effectively. I've tested Federal Premium, Hornady, and Barnes loads without issues.
- Does the muzzle brake accept suppressors?
- The M13x0.75 threads accommodate most .30 caliber suppressors, but you'll need to remove the radial brake first. Thread engagement is 0.6 inches deep—adequate for cans up to 24 ounces. Check suppressor diameter clearance with the 0.9-inch diameter barrel contour.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Ironclad Armory ships within 2 business days via FedEx Ground, with transit times of 3-7 days depending on location. All shipments require signature confirmation at your selected FFL. We email tracking information within 4 hours of shipment.
- Can I return it if the fit isn't right?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unfired rifles in original packaging, subject to a 15% restocking fee. Once fired, returns are only accepted for mechanical defects verified by our armorers. Contact our compliance team before shipping any firearm.
