The bolt-action rifle was forever changed with the introduction of the Browning X-Bolt. The X-Bolt builds on the proven successes of past Browning rifles, and adds numerous improvements that place the X-Bolt at the top of any side by side comparison. Most notable is an adjustable three-lever Feather Trigger™ system that offers the best feel on any Browning rifle ever. A bolt unlock button works with the top-tang safety to offer enhanced safety while unloading. Styling features offer more compact dimensions for a smaller, quicker, sleeker look and feel, and also trims weight. To ensure the stability of optics, scope bases are attached to the receiver using four screws per base. Innovation is the Browning tradition, and the X-Bolt is just the latest example.

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
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." — Craig Boddington
