X Bolt speed 2 lightweight set up.

Anyone running this rifle in 308?

I’m looking to build a lightweight suppressed rifle under 3k.

I was thinking X Bolt Speed 2, in 308 with an 18 inch barrel. I really like the X bolts but they don’t seem to be as popular as the tikkas on this forum.

Maven CRS.1 3-12x40

Airlock Zero Gravity 30 Cal (when they become available)

I’m guessing this will be around 7.5lbs and just over $2700

What do you plan to do to get it to 7.5 lbs?

Well, I had originally thought it was 6.1 lbs because it’s listed as so on a couple third party websites, however when I went on the Browning website it’s listed at 6lbs 10 ounces so that changes things.

Disregard my last, the one I was looking at on the website has a 22 inch barrel. I want the 18 inch which weighs 6lbs 2 ounces, plus a 14 ounce scope and an estimated 8 ounce suppressor would put me at 7 lbs 8 ounces.

My X-bolt 2 Composite Special LR SPR in .308 per UPS was delivered to my FFL this afternoon. Per the website it’s 6lbs 3oz. 18” heavy sporter contour stainless barrel. Haven’t decided on the scope yet. Go light or not? Trying this out, first Browning for me.

For what it’s worth, the browning xbolts I have shot all did fantastic. It was only 3 different rifles from friends/family, but they all shot very well and felt like a nicely made rifle. Hope yours is the same!
