Overview

Built for rimfire competition and precision target work, this .22LR rifle pairs a heavy 21.4-inch match barrel with the 1761 APR action and a two-stage trigger to support a controlled, repeatable shooting setup. The MDT XRS chassis adds a stable platform with adjustable length of pull and cheekpiece height, interchangeable grip panels, and M-LOK attachment points for shooters who want a configurable match rifle. It also includes a 30 MOA Picatinny rail, 10-round magazine, and threaded muzzle, making it well suited to disciplined range use where setup and consistency matter. At 9 lbs, 6 oz, it is a substantial rifle, so it favors a steady bench or positional shooting role over a lightweight field carry.

Considerations & Trade-offs

This is a .22LR rimfire rifle, so it is purpose-built for competitive and target use rather than general-purpose hunting applications.
The 21.4" heavy barrel and MDT XRS chassis add stability, but the rifle is relatively substantial at 9 lbs, 6 oz.
The 10-round magazine capacity may be limiting for shooters who prefer higher-capacity setups, subject to applicable laws and restrictions.
The rifle is configured for fit and setup flexibility, but the adjustable trigger range requires optional springs to reach the full specified range.
