Overview
Built around a bolt-action platform chambered in .30-06 Springfield, this rifle is suited to hunters looking for a straightforward setup for big-game use. The 22-inch barrel, 4+1 magazine capacity, and drilled-and-tapped receiver make it ready for a scoped hunting configuration, while the threaded muzzle adds flexibility on most modern models. At approximately 42.25 inches overall and 7.2 to 7.8 pounds depending on stock configuration, it offers a practical balance for field carry without adding unnecessary bulk. Condition is noted as having no noticeable markings or scuffs, with photos available for review.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Bolt-action .30-06 Springfield setup with a 4+1 magazine means this rifle is geared toward deliberate hunting use rather than high-capacity shooting.
- The 22-inch standard barrel and approximately 42.25-inch overall length make it a full-size rifle, so it may feel less compact in tight cover or during extended carry.
- Weight varies by stock configuration at 7.2 to 7.8 lbs, so handling and balance can differ from one example to another.
- The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope mounts, but optics mounting still requires the appropriate hardware and setup.
