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 information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
Properly "Caliber 30 Model of 1906," the 30-06 was developed at Springfield Armory for the 1903 Springfield rifle. The original 1903 cartridge, though very similar, used a round-nosed 220-grain bullet; the 1906 version used a 150-grain spitzer bullet with a slightly shorter case neck and case length of 2.494-inches. The 30-06, in Springfield, 1917 Enfield, and M1 Garand rifles, remained America's service cartridge through the Korean War. It was the most powerful cartridge ever adopted by a major military, and over time became America's most popular hunting cartridge. Today there are many good choices, but the 30-06 remains extremely popular throughout the world, suited for most North American big game and equally effective for African plains game. The most common standard loads today feature: 150-grain bullet at 2910 feet per second; 165-grain bullet at 2800 fps; and 180-grain bullet at 2700 fps. Choices in both rifles and ammunition are almost limitless.
