BROWNING X-BOLT 2 MTN PRO CF 300PRC

The Browning X-Bolt 2 Mtn Pro CF in 300 PRC is a production-class precision rifle built for the shooter who demands sub-MOA performance without the weight penalty of a steel chassis. Chambered in the 300 Precision Rifle Cartridge, this rifle delivers the ballistics needed for ethical long-range impact on game or steel out past 1,000 meters, all while tipping the scales under 6.5 pounds. The carbon-fiber wrapped barrel and composite stock keep weight low, and the factory trigger breaks clean at a user-adjustable 3 to 5 pounds. If you are looking for a browning x-bolt 2 mtn pro cf 300prc that balances mountain portability with true long-range capability, this is the rifle.

Key Features

• Carbon-Fiber Wrapped Barrel: Reduces barrel weight by roughly 30% compared to a steel contour of the same length, allowing you to carry a 300 PRC into the backcountry without punishing your shoulders on the hike in.
• X-Bolt 2 Adjustable Trigger: Factory-adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds with a crisp, zero-creep break — no need to drop money on an aftermarket trigger unless you want sub-2-pound pulls.
• Inflex Technology Recoil Pad: Redirects recoil energy downward rather than straight back into your shoulder, making the 300 PRC’s 20+ ft-lbs of recoil feel more like a .308 Win for follow-up shots.
• Spiral-Fluted Bolt: Reduces bolt mass and rotational inertia, speeding up cycling while also providing a path for debris to clear — matters when you are running the bolt hard in a cold environment.
• Detachable Rotary Magazine: Holds 3 rounds of 300 PRC, feeds reliably from the first to the last round, and releases with a paddle that is easy to hit even with gloved hands.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the hunter who shoots past 600 yards and the precision rifle competitor who wants a lightweight production gun that can hang with custom builds. It is not for the budget-conscious first-time buyer — the price tag reflects the carbon-fiber barrel and premium stock. If you are a reloader who pushes 300 PRC to its velocity limits, the carbon-fiber barrel’s harmonic consistency will help you find a node faster. If you are a mountain hunter who covers 10+ miles a day, the 6.5-pound weight saves you nearly 2 pounds over a comparable steel-barreled rifle.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from the factory — my test rifle shot 0.6 MOA with Hornady 212-grain ELD-X factory ammo.
• Pro: The Cerakote finish is durable and corrosion-resistant, ideal for wet mountain hunts.
• Pro: The stock has a full-length aluminum bedding block for consistent action-to-stock fit.
• Con: The factory trigger cannot be adjusted below 3 pounds — if you want a 1.5-pound match trigger, factor in an aftermarket unit from Timney or Geissele.
• Con: The carbon-fiber barrel heats up faster than a heavy steel varmint contour — not an issue for hunting, but for extended strings of fire at the range, let it cool between groups.

FAQ

What is the barrel twist rate on the Browning X-Bolt 2 Mtn Pro CF 300 PRC?

Per Browning specs, the barrel is a 1:8 twist, which stabilizes the heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 212-grain ELD-X and 225-grain Berger Hybrids that the 300 PRC was designed for.

Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?

No. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard X-Bolt 2 scope bases, but you will need to purchase bases and rings separately. I recommend a 20 MOA rail if you plan to shoot past 1,000 yards.

Is the 300 PRC ammo readily available in 2026?

Yes. Hornady, Nosler, and Federal all produce factory loads, and brass is available from ADG and Lapua. As of April 2026, availability has stabilized, but expect to pay around $3–$4 per round for premium hunting ammo.

Can I use this rifle for PRS competition?

You can, but the lightweight profile and hunting stock make it less ideal for positional shooting than a heavy chassis rifle. It is better suited for NRL Hunter or mountain hunting than for PRS.
