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 300 H&H Magnum and 375 H&H Magnum models include open sights with an 18" sight radius.

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 H&H (300 Holland & Holland Magnum or Super Thirty) was introduced by Holland & Holland in 1925. Based on the 375 H&H case necked down, it has a long (2.85-inch) tapered case and gentle shoulder. These features rob potential velocity…but allow extremely smooth feeding. The 300 H&H achieved world-wide fame when Ben Comfort used it to win the 1000-yard Wimbledon Match in 1935. Western had been loading 300 H&H ammo in American since 1925, and in 1937 it was among the initial offerings in Winchester's new Model 70 bolt-action. Although Roy Weatherby's 300 Weatherby Magnum was much faster and made some inroads, the 300 H&H remained the world-standard "fast 30-caliber" through the 1960s, when it was gradually replaced by the 300 Winchester Magnum. New rifles in 300 H&H are now rare and current factory loads are mild, commonly featuring a 180-grain bullet at 2890 feet per second. Even so, the 300 H&H remains a great hunting cartridge, still very accurate and still smooth-feeding.
