Browning 035559208 X-BOLT Speed SR .223 18" Ovix/Smoked Bronze Bolt-Action Rifle - 035559208

Your search for a hunting rifle that is suppressor-ready straight out of the box has finally met its end with the X-Bolt Speed SR. Modeled after our hugely popular Speed rifles, what makes this rifle unique to other X-Bolts is the use of barrel lengths that are 4″ shorter than normally designated for the caliber. The reduced barrel length keeps the overall length of the rifle short, even when using a suppressor. Additional benefits include lighter weight and an increase in stiffness. The lightweight profile barrel is fluted to improve cooling for more consistency between shots. The end of the barrel is also belled slightly to accommodate a suppressor with 1/2″-28 threading on varmint calibers. Not ready for a suppressor? A radial-style muzzle brake and thread protector are included and, with the shorter overall length of the rifle, turn it into a formidable brush gun.

X-Bolt Speed models are built to be accurate in tough conditions. In addition to all of the great features that contribute to the award-winning accuracy of the X-Bolt, Speed rifles also include the protection of Cerakote that offers improved protection to steel surfaces when compared to traditional blueing and a stable composite stock with Browning OVIX Camouflage.

• Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish protects better than traditional bluing or bare stainless steel
• Match-grade, fluted sporter barrel
• Belled muzzle allows for common, suppressor-ready threads to be added to the lighter contour barrel
• Shorter barrel lengths for use with a suppressor
• Threaded muzzle brake reduces recoil (thread protector included)
• Versatile Browning OVIX camo finish
• Weather-resistant composite stock
