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 crafted 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.
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.
