Overview
Built for rimfire precision work, this .22LR straight-pull repeater is aimed at shooters competing in PRS-style matches and other demanding target applications. It combines a 22" heavy blued barrel, Fortner action, and adjustable 5020 APR two-stage trigger with a chassis setup that includes a full-length steel forearm, integrated ARCA-Swiss rail, and factory rear bag rider. The included 30 MOA Picatinny rail, 10-round magazine, and premium rifle case round out a package focused on stability, fast cycling, and match-oriented setup. At 18 lbs, 14 oz., it is a substantial rifle intended for deliberate precision shooting rather than light carry.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a specialized .22LR straight-pull repeater built around PRS-style rimfire competition use, so it is more purpose-specific than a general hunting rifle.
- At 18 lbs, 14 oz. including the Picatinny mount, it is a substantial setup that favors stability over portability.
- The 5020 APR trigger offers a wide adjustment range, but reaching the full range requires optional springs.
- The rifle ships with a 10-round magazine and must be transferred through an FFL, so it is not a simple over-the-counter purchase.
