The single-stage, adjustable trigger offers a crisp release for precision shooting, and the 3-position safety (with bolt lock) provides positive tactile feel, clear visibility and easy access. It has an ergonomic, lightweight stock for a classic look with modern contours, textured grip panels, and a soft rubber recoil pad. It uses a detachable, flush fit rotary magazine. The Compass comes with a detachable, flush fit rotary magazine, Weaver-style bases, and sling swivel studs.

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.
