This Browning X-Bolt 2 SPD WH LR 7PRC 3+1 # is a long-range hunting rifle built for shooters who demand precision at distance. Chambered in 7mm PRC, it gives you the flat trajectory and retained energy needed for ethical shots on elk, mule deer, and other big game. The 26-inch barrel and composite stock keep it stable on the bags and light enough to carry all day.

Key Features
- 26-inch stainless steel barrel — gives you the velocity needed to maximize 7mm PRC ballistics, with a free-floated design that keeps harmonics consistent shot after shot.
- X-Bolt 2 action with 60-degree bolt lift — lets you cycle rounds fast without lifting your cheek off the stock, so you stay on target for quick follow-ups.
- Spiral-fluted bolt — reduces overall weight and sheds dirt and moisture, keeping the action slick in rough conditions.
- DLX trigger — adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds, so you can dial in a crisp break that matches your shooting style and safety preference.
- Composite stock with Inflex recoil pad — cuts felt recoil by up to 40% compared to standard pads, making long sessions at the range or the field more comfortable.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who drives 500 yards across the prairie, then takes a 400-yard shot at a pronghorn. It’s for the shooter who wants a modern magnum cartridge without the punishing recoil of a .300 Win Mag. If you’re a reloader, the 7mm PRC gives you excellent case capacity and barrel life. New shooters stepping up from a .308 will appreciate the flat trajectory and manageable recoil.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Accurate out of the box; lightweight for a long-range rifle; threaded muzzle (5/8-24) for brakes or suppressors; spiral-fluted bolt reduces weight and adds style.
- Cons: 7mm PRC ammo is still less common than .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor — stock up when you find it. The composite stock feels a bit hollow when you tap it, but it’s rock-solid on the bags.
How It Stacks Up
| Feature | Browning X-Bolt 2 SPD WH LR 7PRC | Bergara B-14 HMR (6.5 Creedmoor) | Tikka T3x Lite (7mm Rem Mag) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 6.9 lbs | 8.7 lbs | 6.5 lbs |
| Barrel Length | 26″ | 22″ | 24″ |
| Action | 60° bolt lift | 90° bolt lift | 70° bolt lift |
| Trigger | DLX adjustable 3–5 lbs | TriggerTech adjustable 1.5–4 lbs | Single-stage adjustable 2–4 lbs |
| Magazine | 3+1 rotary | 4+1 AICS | 3+1 detachable |
| Price | $1,165.94 | $1,099.99 | $1,049.99 |
The X-Bolt 2 splits the difference between the Bergara’s heavier build and the Tikka’s ultralight feel. You get a 26-inch barrel for velocity that the Tikka doesn’t offer, and you save 2 pounds over the Bergara. The 60-degree bolt lift is faster than both competitors.
FAQ
What scope mounts fit the Browning X-Bolt 2 SPD WH LR?
This rifle uses Browning’s X-Bolt scope base pattern. You’ll need a one-piece or two-piece base set specifically for X-Bolt actions. Most major brands like Talley, Leupold, and Warne make them. The receiver is drilled and tapped for #8 screws.
Is the 7mm PRC hard on barrels?
Not compared to other magnums. The 7mm PRC runs at about 62,000 psi, similar to a .300 Win Mag, but the bore diameter and case design give you good barrel life — expect 1,500 to 2,000 rounds before accuracy drops off. Keep it clean and let it cool between strings.
Can I shoot 7mm Rem Mag ammo in this rifle?
No. The 7mm PRC has a different case head diameter and overall length than 7mm Rem Mag. Do not attempt to chamber or fire 7mm Rem Mag in this rifle. Only use factory 7mm PRC ammunition.
Does this rifle come with a muzzle brake?
No, it ships with a thread protector on the 5/8-24 muzzle. You can add your own brake or suppressor. The barrel is not pre-threaded for the Browning Recoil Hawg brake — you’ll need to buy that separately if you want it.
