Highly collectible and functional big game rifle. Gloss Grade V/VI walnut, Safari/Medallion style stock with raised cheek piece and rosewood fore end and pistol grip cap. Polished blued steel with gold-accented barrel engraving. Detachable rotary magazine, short throw bolt, adjustable trigger, bolt-action.
A tradition of artistry and craftsmanship. Dating back through recorded history, men and women have always embellished their tools. From the first hafted stone and wood cutting tools, to the advent of steel, hunters have held a sense of appreciation for the implements they use to take game.
The X-Bolt is the culmination of the modern hunting implement, offering hunters the greatest accuracy, reliability, and overall utility of any contemporary production bolt-action rifle. The X-Bolt Medallion Safari Grade rifle compliments that technology and craftsmanship with the artistry and beauty it deserves. High-grade walnut and rosewood are formed into the classic melding of the Safari and Medallion stock styles, comprised of a raised cheek piece, finely cut checkering, and a high gloss finish. The barrel and receiver are a deeply polished blue with gold-accented engraving.
As the name implies, this rifle is available in African/Alaskan game calibers as well as standard calibers - the 300 H&H Magnum and 375 H&H Magnum models include open sights with an 18" sight radius.

The 7mm Remington Magnum was introduced in 1962 in the new Remington Model 700 bolt-action. Gunwriters Les Bowman, Warren Page, and others had been clamoring for a fast 7mm, and the Remington's "Big Seven" was the answer. Except the very similar 275 H&H dates to 1912, and the 7mm Weatherby Magnum to 1944. No matter; the 7mm Remington Magnum was a huge success. Viewed as more versatile, it blew the 264 Winchester Magnum off the market and went on to become the world's most popular "magnum" cartridge. Though since surpassed in this role by the 300 Winchester Magnum, the 7mm Remington Magnum remains a world-standard hunting cartridge, adequate for game up to elk and moose, flat-shooting, and able to achieve meaningful velocities with bullets up to 175 grains--but with less recoil than the fast .30-calibers. Most firearms manufacturers chamber to it, and the selection of factory loads is rich and varied.
