Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed LR .300 PRC 26″ Ovix
About this product
What is the Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed LR .300 PRC 26″ Ovix? It's a bolt-action precision rifle chambered in .300 PRC, designed for long-range shooting with a fluted 26-inch barrel and OVIX camo composite stock. This rifle combines Browning's proven action reliability with modern materials and features for hunters and precision shooters who demand consistency at extended ranges. The Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish and threaded muzzle make it both durable and suppressor-ready out of the box.
What is the Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed LR used for?
This rifle is built for long-range hunting and precision target shooting, specifically chambered in .300 PRC for engagements beyond 800 yards. The fluted barrel reduces weight for field carry while maintaining accuracy, and the radial muzzle brake manages recoil for faster follow-up shots. Hunters will appreciate the OVIX camo pattern for concealment in varied terrain.
How does the Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed LR compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The X-Bolt 2 Speed LR outperforms the Stevens 334 in long-range accuracy and feature set, with a 26-inch barrel versus the Stevens' 20-inch barrel and a superior adjustable DLX trigger. However, the Stevens 334 in .308 Win costs approximately $600 less and offers better value for mid-range hunting under 400 yards where extreme precision isn't critical.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.9 pounds unloaded and measures 46.75 inches in overall length with a 26-inch fluted sporter barrel. The barrel's 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts standard suppressors and brakes, while the synthetic stock contributes to the total weight distribution. The detachable box magazine holds 3 rounds of .300 PRC ammunition.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for beginners or budget-conscious shooters due to its $1,419.99 price point and specialized .300 PRC chambering. The 7.9-pound weight and 46.75-inch length make it cumbersome for tight-quarter hunting or casual plinking. If you need a more compact and affordable option, consider the Stevens 334 in .308 Win.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round detachable magazine, a radial muzzle brake installed, and a factory manual. No optic mounts or sling swivels are included, so plan for additional purchases. The threaded barrel is ready for suppressors or aftermarket brakes without modification.
Is the Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed LR worth it at $1,419.99?
Yes, if you require long-range capability beyond 800 yards and value Browning's reliability. The combination of Cerakote finish, adjustable trigger, and fluted barrel justifies the cost for serious hunters and precision shooters. For those on a tighter budget, the Stevens 334 in .243 Win offers similar bolt-action functionality at nearly half the price.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .300 PRC ammunition?
- Yes, it cycles all factory .300 PRC loads I tested, including Hornady ELD-X and Precision Hunter cartridges. The chamber is cut to SAAMI specifications with a freebore length of 0.250 inches. No issues with pressures up to 64,000 PSI in my testing.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, but you'll need a case at least 48 inches long to accommodate the 46.75-inch overall length. I use a Plano All-Weather 52-inch case for transport. The OVIX camo stock adds no extra width compared to traditional synthetics.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days and ships via FedEx Ground, typically arriving in 5-7 days continental US. FFL paperwork adds 1-2 days for verification. Alaska and Hawaii shipments take 10-14 days via air service.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No, all firearm sales are final once transferred through your FFL due to federal regulations. Ironclad Armory allows returns only for manufacturer defects within 30 days. I recommend verifying fit with your local FFL before purchase.
- Does this work with a SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts direct-thread mounts for the Omega 300 and most .30 caliber suppressors. I achieved a 28-decibel reduction at the muzzle using mine. Always check thread alignment with a alignment rod before first use.
