$2,795.23
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed Carbon Fiber OVIX .300 PRC 26″ delivers a carbon-wrapped barrel, adjustable DLX trigger, and Recoil Hawg brake in a 7 lb 12 oz package built for long-range hunting and precision steel.
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed Carbon Fiber OVIX .300 PRC 26″ is a precision bolt-action rifle that pairs a carbon-fiber wrapped stainless steel barrel with a fully adjustable Vari‑Tech composite stock in OVIX camo, purpose-built for long-range hunting and steel punching. Chambered in .300 PRC with a 26-inch barrel, it delivers the velocity and ballistic coefficient needed to stretch past 1,200 yards while the Recoil Hawg muzzle brake keeps you on target for the next shot. This is a production rifle that competes with semi-custom builds out of the box.

Key Features
- Carbon-fiber wrapped barrel – Reduces barrel weight by roughly 10 ounces versus a standard contour steel barrel of the same length. Why it matters: You carry this rifle into the backcountry, not just to the bench. That weight savings translates to less fatigue on the glass and a faster follow-up without sacrificing stiffness.
- Adjustable DLX trigger – A two-lever design that lets you dial pull weight from 3 to 5 pounds without a gunsmith. Why it matters: A consistent trigger break is the cheapest accuracy upgrade you can make. You set it to your preferred weight and leave it—no creep, no surprises.
- Recoil Hawg muzzle brake – A four-port radial brake that vents gas upward and rearward. Why it matters: In .300 PRC, recoil can pull you off the glass. This brake cuts felt recoil by roughly 40%, letting you spot your own impacts through the scope.
- Vari‑Tech composite stock with adjustable comb and LOP – A carbon-fiber reinforced stock with a cheek riser that adjusts 0.6″ and spacer plates for length of pull from 13″ to 14.25″. Why it matters: A proper cheek weld eliminates parallax error. You dial it to your eye height and keep your reticle centered through the recoil cycle.
- Tungsten Cerakote receiver – A corrosion-resistant coating applied to the receiver and bolt. Why it matters: Wet conditions and sweat will rust bare steel. Cerakote gives you a durable finish that holds up to field use and doesn’t glare in the sun.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who needs one platform that can hunt elk at 600 yards and ring steel at 1,200 yards on the same trip. It’s not a lightweight backpacker’s gun—you feel the 26″ barrel—but it’s not a heavy competition rig either. You’re the guy who wants a production rifle with aftermarket-level adjustability and doesn’t want to wait six months for a custom build.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Adjustable comb and trigger out of the box, carbon barrel cuts weight without losing accuracy, Recoil Hawg brake works well on a magnum cartridge, Tungsten Cerakote adds durability.
Cons: The Vari‑Tech stock’s cheek riser can shift slightly under hard recoil if you don’t tighten the locking lever firmly. It’s a minor annoyance but worth noting if you’re running heavy loads.

What makes the .300 PRC different from .300 Win Mag?
The .300 PRC uses a longer, sleeker bullet profile (like the Hornady 225 gr ELD-M) with a higher ballistic coefficient. It also runs at higher pressure (65,000 psi vs. 64,000 psi) and has a faster twist rate (1:8″ vs. 1:10″) to stabilize those heavy bullets. You get better wind drift and energy retention past 1,000 yards.
Does this rifle come with a scope rail or base?
No. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard long-action bases. You’ll need to purchase a one-piece rail or two-piece bases separately, plus rings for your optic.
What ammunition does Browning recommend for this barrel twist?
Browning specs a 1:8″ twist rate. That stabilizes bullets from 200 to 230 grains. Hornady’s 225 gr ELD-M and 212 gr ELD-X are ideal. Avoid light-for-caliber bullets under 180 grains—they may not stabilize as consistently.
Can I shoot .300 PRC without the muzzle brake?
Yes, the Recoil Hawg brake is threaded onto the barrel (5/8-24). You can remove it with a wrench and install a thread protector. Expect noticeably more recoil—around 30-35 ft-lbs—so you’ll want a good rear bag and a solid cheek weld.
