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.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for

particular item.
The 300 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) was introduced in 2001, the first of what would be several short, fat, unbelted magnums from Winchester, Remington, and Hornady. The theory (and reality) is that burning is more efficient when the propellant column is wider in relation to its length, allowing the primer to ignite a greater percentage of the charge. The burning curve is more efficient, and slightly more energy per grain of propellant is produced. Using a 2.1-inch case, the 300 WSM fits into a short (308 Winchest-length) action, yet produces velocity almost equal to the 300 Winchester Magnum, as examples a 150-grain bullet at 3270 feet per second and a 180-grain bullet at 2970. The 300 WSM was first in its class, and America loves its 30-calibers. As a result the 300 WSM has been the most popular of the new short, fat magnums, with ammunition from multiple sources and rifles chambered by numerous manufacturers.
