Browning has over 50 years of manufacturing experience with bolt-action rifles, and today's X-Bolt inherits the strongest, most note-worthy features of its predecessors. The X-Bolt White Gold medallion features a Monte Carlo stock. The stock comb steps sharply down toward the heel of the buttstock, which allows more contact between the recoil pad of the stock and the shooter's shoulder. This means that the recoil comes directly back or in-line with the stronger part of the inner shoulder, making the rifle more pleasant to shoot, especially when a long day at the range is expected.
While it's strikingly attractive from the outside, the White Gold's beauty is really on the inside. The three-lever Feather Trigger system is probably the most comfortable, simple trigger on any bolt-action rifle on the market. There is no take-up or creep and very little over-travel. This is the kind of trigger serious hunters and shooters demand. Next is the superb free-floating barrel with target crown, then triple-checked for interior finish, straightness and air-guaged for total uniformity. No doubt, this rifle has it all: looks, handling and most important, dead-on accuracy.
This version of the White Gold Medallion features a left handed action, specifically designed for southpaw shooters.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 300 Winchester Magnum, introduced in 1963, was the last of Winchester's family of (nominally) 30-06-length belted magnums based on the shortened 300 H&H case. It followed the 458, 264, and 338 Winchester Magnums, but has an unusually short neck to maximize powder capacity. Initial reception was mixed; critics faulted the short neck, and it was caught up in Winchester's unpopular post-1964 manufacturing shift. It took time, but the 300 Winchester Magnum has not just survived but prospered. Today it is the world's most popular cartridge that wears a "magnum" suffix. It is manufactured by all ammunition manufacturers, chambered by all riflemakers who have a suitable platform, and often employed by military snipers in the Special Operations community. Though not the fastest "fast 30-caliber" it is fast, accurate, incredibly available, and well-suited to virtually all non-dangerous game hunting throughout the world.
