Overview
Browning Recoil Pad for X-Bolt 2 – 32 mm
Original Browning Recoil Pad for X-Bolt 2 with 32 mm thickness. This factory part (item no. B357960787) is designed to provide effective recoil damping, stable shoulder contact, and a neat, OEM finish on your rifle. The soft rubber compound absorbs shock when firing, while the non-slip surface prevents the stock from wandering on the jacket – in the rain, cold or during quick follow-ups. Perfect as a replacement for a worn back cap or as an upgrade for increased comfort.
- Effective damping: Comfortable rubber with an energy-dissipating core provides softer, more controlled recoil.
- Stable system: Non-slip surface holds the flask firmly in the shoulder – even with a smooth rain jacket.
- OEM Fit: Developed for X-Bolt 2 with the correct radius and screw placement for clean installation.
- 32 mm thickness: Adds length and contact patch equivalent to the factory standard of many X-Bolt 2 models.
Fits Browning X-Bolt 2 (selected models/stock variants). Please note that individual flask shapes and vintages may vary. Always check your flask type and existing back cap shape/screw spacing before purchase.

Installation – how to do it
- Loosen the two screws through the slots in the rubber (a few drops of soapy water on the screwdriver will protect the rubber).
- Remove the old back cap and clean the contact surface on the flask.
- Place B357960787 so that heel/toe aligns; Tighten the screws evenly firmly.
- Check the system and eye relief to the scope and adjust if necessary.
When does a new back shroud provide the most value?
- Worn/hard back cap: Cracks or hard rubber increase perceived recoil and provide slippage.
- Quick series: Better grip and damping provide faster re-imaging of the sight image.
- Comfort on the hunt and track: Less fatigue in the shoulder and more consistent triggering.
