If you're the type of hunter who hones your skills by shooting at varying distances throughout the year, the Speed LR is ready to impress. From the pop of lead hitting steel at over a thousand yards away to setting your crosshairs on a trophy buck, the Speed LR has the features and out of the box accuracy to give you confidence in your shot.
Built on the most popular X-Bolt rifle ever, the Speed LR rifle takes the same winning features and adds a heavy sporter contour barrel for increased long range accuracy. Barrel fluting reduces the weight of the barrel, increases the exposed surface area of the barrel (reducing barrel heating) and offers a more rigid barrel with less weight. The barrel is also belled at the muzzle and features 5/8"-24 TPI suppressor-ready threads. This threading also accepts the Browning Recoil Hawg muzzle brake. The action is bedded in the stock to free-float the barrel and ensure consistent accuracy.
The barreled action is protected by a Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish. Cerakote is a superior, non-reflective and corrosion-resistant coating that is more durable than traditional bluing or bare stainless steel.
A lightweight, sporter-style stock keeps weight low and durability high. The included adjustable comb system offers up to 1" of height adjustment to ensure that your eye is placed in perfect alignment with your scope a vital feature considering today's large diameter, higher powered optics that are common on long range rifles.

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.
