Posted by Fort Thompson on Jun 11th 2025
This is your Weekly Shot — where we break down a standout firearm or accessory: what makes it tick, how it performs in the field (or at the range), and why it deserves a permanent slot in your arsenal.
This week, we’re spotlighting a bolt-action rifle that’s built for serious hunters and precision shooters alike: the Browning X-Bolt 2.
This latest evolution of Browning’s flagship platform brings enhanced ergonomics, a smoother bolt throw, and upgraded recoil management—all while staying true to the accuracy and dependability Browning’s known for. From the rugged Speed models to the ultra-lightweight Carbon Fiber variants, this lineup is built to perform in the harshest conditions.
Let’s break down why the Browning X-Bolt 2 belongs in your safe—and why Fort Thompson Sporting Goods is the place to grab yours.
