Features:
Action Type: Gas operated, autoloader with an extra strong multiple lug rotating bolt that locks directly into the barrel. Every cartridge that is loaded into the chamber of the BAR is surrounded by a recessed bolt face, which, in turn, is encircled by the barrel, which, in turn, is surrounded by the receiver. Three rings of steel surround the cartridge.
A seven-lug bolt and precise breech-to-chamber relationship give the BAR an exceptional degree of accuracy and the strength to handle magnum loads.
The strong and very rigid action bar/inertia block link-up improves accuracy by reducing barrel vibration. The buffering system reduces wear and stress on the rifle's mechanism.
Barrel: Individually machined from hammer forged, heat-treated billets of steel.
Magazine: A detachable box magazine with a unique hinged floorplate.
Safety: Cross bolt with enlarged head.
Safety Lock: All Browning firearms are shipped with a free trigger lock, padlock, or a chamber lock, depending on the model-to assist you in the safe storage of your firearm.

Stock and Forearm: The fluted stock design incorporates a full pistol grip with an undercut and is contoured for use with open sights, receiver (peep) sights or scope sights. The forearm is full and hand filling. Sling swivel studs are installed in the stock and forearm.
Trigger: Short, smooth single stage. Trigger assembly can be easily removed for maintenance and cleaning. Enlarged trigger guard.
23" Barrel, 270 Winchester Short Magnum, With Sights
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 270 WSM (Winchester Short Magnum) was introduced in 2001 along with the 7mm WSM as the second and thirds members of Winchester's family of short magnums. It uses short (2.10-inch) case suitable for housing in a short bolt action, and with its short, fat .555-inch base diameter) unbelted case it is an accurate and efficient cartridge. With 130-grain bullets at 3300 feet per second and 150-grain bullets at 3150 it is faster than the 270 Winchester (and delivers more energy)...but but not quite as fast as the 270 Weatherby Magnum. Excellent for deer and mountain game and suitable for elk, it has a significant following and is probably the second-most popular of the several short magnums (after the 300 Winchester Short Magnum). Several manufacturers have chambered rifles, and ammunition is available from multiple sources. Gunwriter Craig Boddington has written that it is "the most useful of the new group of short magnum cartridges."
