Matte black finish, matte stainless, detachable rotary magazine, short throw bolt, adjustable trigger, bolt-action -- SCOPE NOT INCLUDED
The X-Bolt Stainless stalker is anything but high maintenance. With a matte Stainless steel barrel and action, it will endure punishing weather and terrain and still give you the thoroughbred performance you can expect from a Browning rifle.
Stainless is the big difference. This attractive and weather-resistant bolt action rifle is similar to the X-Bolt Composite model, except for a Stainless steel receiver, barrel and bolt. It has a comfortable palm swell for right-hand shooters, textured gripping surfaces for keeping your hands where they should be on the stock, even in wet and cold conditions. This model also features a deluxe Inflex Technology recoil pad and sling swivels. If you are looking for a hard core bolt action rifle that you can rely on, in the rugged areas and inclement weather conditions hunting deer, elk, varmints and the like, the X-Bolt Stainless Stalker is your rifle.

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 338 Winchester Magnum was introduced in 1958 in a version of the Winchester Model 70 called the "Alaskan." A companion introduction with the 264 Winchester Magnum (in the Model 70 "Westerner"), the 338 Winchester Magnum is based on the 458 Winchester Magnum necked down to take a .338-inch bullet. Case length is 2.5 inches, making it suitable for 30-06-length actions. Acceptance was initially slow, perhaps because of recoil and certainly because, above 30-caliber, all American cartridge sales drop off. Over time it has achieved its proper place as one of the best of all elk cartridges, adequate for the largest bears, and yet flat-shooting enough for use on smaller game if desired. It is an exceptionally good choice for the full run of African plains game. Standard velocities are a 200-grain bullet at 2960 feet per second; 225-grain bullet at 2780; and 250-grain bullet at 2660. Both rifles and ammunition are offered by most major manufacturers.
