We didn’t hold back when designing the X-Bolt Speed. This is a true mountain-style rifle with the features that send it straight to the top of the peak for hunters looking for proven performance and accuracy.
The sporter contour barrel is fluted and comes in standard barrel lengths to keep the rifle light, maneuverable and easy to carry. The muzzle is threaded M13x0.75 to accept the included radial muzzle brake or thread protector cap. For additional performance, the Browning Recoil Hawg Sporter muzzle brake can also be added. The barrel is free floated for consistent accuracy.
The Cerakote Smoked Bronze finish is applied to the action and barrel and offers metal protection that is better than traditional bluing or stainless steel. The lightweight composite stock features the concealment of Browning OVIX camo. This pattern offers excellent concealment in a variety of terrain and environments.
Features:
- Free-floated barrel that is bedded in the front and the rear of the action for stability and to help maintain barrel-to-stock spacing for consistent accuracy.
- Bolt unlock button works in conjunction with the top-tang safety to provide an added measure of safety during checking and unloading of the chamber.
- Short 60° bolt lift is fast cycling and allows you to work the bolt quickly

Browning Ovix – A Complete System of Concealment
Browning has a long-standing tradition of delivering innovative outdoor products that meet the demands of hunters. Our leading-edge approach runs the gamut of the industry, from technologies that improve rifle accuracy to innovations that tighten shot patterns to the newest technical fabrics that optimize stealth and flexibility in our outdoor clothing. In every respect, Browning leads the way in advancements in the hunting industry and make your time spent in the field more successful. Now, we’ve directed our attention to the art of concealment in the wild with Browning OVIX camouflage. At its core, OVIX is another feat of Browning innovation – developed to be versatile and highly effective in a variety of environments, types of terrain and seasons. Consider OVIX to be a revolutionary addition on every hunt.
The art of OVIX is the intentionally-placed brown, gray and green hues that succeed in doing what all camo patterns strive to do – break up the outline of the wearer at any distance and make the human form indistinguishable. To create OVIX, we used color analysis, strategic shading and incorporated shape manipulation to create a consistent pattern of concealment and optical movement. The color pallet utilizes high contrast to break up shapes during engagements at the closer ranges that bow hunters require. At greater distances, the shapes blend to create a natural mirage rather than a dark “blob” that is common in many camo patterns. A combination of atmospheric optics and white light color scattering create the essential background to this revolutionary camouflage pattern. The effectiveness of OVIX has been evaluated extensively by our Pro Staff and proven successful on elk, moose, whitetail and mule deer and even varmint hunts.
With a full line of rifles, outdoor clothing for every season and a variety of accessories all clad in OVIX camouflage, Browning offers what other companies can’t – a total concealment package that has been assembled to keep you hidden from keen vision and wary natural instincts. From rocky, open terrain to a tree stand in fall leaves, from bugling bulls to grunting whitetail, OVIX camouflage is a natural choice for concealment.
Bolt Unlock Button
The bolt unlock button is a feature found on the Browning X-Bolt and the AB3 bolt action rifles.
It works in conjunction with the top-tang safety to provide an added measure of safety during checking and unloading of the chamber. Conveniently located on top of the bolt lever, the bolt unlock button allows the bolt to be unlocked and opened with the safety in the on safe position. The safety blocks the trigger sear and features a firing pin block for added safety.
This feature is likely one of the most understated and underappreciated of Browning features until you actually use it. Then it becomes an integral part of the use and operation of your rifle.
- The bolt unlock button works in conjunction with the top-tang safety to provide an extra margin of safety when checking and unloading the chamber.
- Located on top of the bolt handle, the bolt unlock button allows the bolt to be unlocked and opened with the tang safety in the on safe position.
- The convenient tang safety blocks the trigger sear and features a firing pin block for added security.
Feather Trigger
For precise shooting in the field or off the bench, there’s absolutely no substitute for a good, predictable trigger. X-Bolt rifles feature the three-lever Feather Trigger that provides a clean, crisp pull with no take-up or creep and minimal overtravel. The trigger is screw adjustable from 3 to 5 lb. and factory pre-set at approximately 3 1/2-4 lb. An alloy trigger housing contains hard chromed steel components that are highly polished on all critical contact surfaces. Precise engagement angles mean the X-Bolt Feather Trigger feels light and right and stays that way through many thousands of rounds. Unlike competitors’ triggers with secondary finger piece levers, the Feather Trigger is designed right, from the very start.
Without a great trigger, a rifle’s accuracy is no more than luck. Our crisp and smooth three-lever Feather Trigger gives Browning X-Bolt rifles custom trigger performance straight from the box.
X-Lock – Rifle Scope Mounting System
Securely mounted optics are essential to the accuracy and precision of any rifle. To ensure the new X-Bolt rifle has the most stable mount possible, it features the X-Lock scope mounting system. The X-Lock system uses four screws per base, replacing the traditional two-screw system. The benefits are obvious, with the scope bases being secured at all four corners rather than only held at the center of the base. This allows for more accurate placement of the bases on the receiver. This revolutionary X-Lock system holds the base tighter to the rifle than ever before.
Inflex Technology – Recoil Pad Technology
The Inflex Technology recoil pad is the most comfortable, effective pad available. That’s because Inflex Technology is more than a mass of recoil absorbing material, the innovation is engineered into the pad. Underneath the material, an internal skeleton has been designed using the concept of directional deflection. When a Browning with the Inflex recoil pad is fired, the pad collapses, but instead of simply moving to the rear, directional ribs pull the comb down and away from your face for even greater shooting comfort and faster follow-ups.
Inflex Technology is on several Browning rifles and shotguns. The videos shown below explains the system on an A5 shotgun and Browning X-Bolt rifle. The same principles apply to the other Browning guns fitted with Inflex.
The new Inflex II Technology recoil pad is the next generation of the most recoil absorbing pad available. A softer new outer material provides even better recoil absorbing performance and is super slippery to prevent snagging on clothing when shouldering. Internal directional deflection construction guides the comb down and away from your cheek for greater shooting comfort and faster, more accurate follow-up shots.
Cerakote
Cerakote is a finishing product used on a number of Browning products, primarily rifles, and shotguns. It is available in a number of color variations and has a wide range of materials that it can be applied to. In general, it provides a significant improvement in resistance to corrosion and wear over traditional bluing, making it ideal for rifles and other hunting gear being used in wet, humid and abusive environments.
Cerakote is a Polymer-Ceramic Composite coating that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers, and wood. The unique formulation used for Cerakote ceramic coating enhances a number of physical performance properties including abrasion/wear resistance, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness. Each of these properties is rigorously tested to guarantee that Cerakote products remain at the forefront of the ceramic coatings market. Cerakote ceramic coatings utilize state-of-the-art technology to outperform any competitive coating in both laboratory settings and real-world applications.
