Overview
Built for hunters who want a light rifle that still supports deliberate shooting at distance, this bolt-action model pairs a carbon fiber wrapped barrel with an FFT carbon fiber stock and a 20-inch barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor. It includes a TriggerTech trigger, side-baffle muzzle brake, free-floating barrel design, and drilled-and-tapped receiver for optics, giving it a setup suited to a scoped hunting rifle. The 4+1 round capacity and right-hand configuration keep the layout straightforward in the field, while the stainless steel finish and stainless aluminum receiver round out the package. At about 5.3 pounds, it favors carry comfort, though the compact barrel length may be a consideration for hunters who prefer a longer sight radius.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 20" barrel and 6.5 Creedmoor chambering keep the rifle compact, but they also mean you are not getting a full-length hunting rig.
- The 4+1 round capacity is practical for field use, though it is still a limited internal magazine setup compared with higher-capacity options.
- At approximately 5.3 lbs., the rifle is easy to carry, but that lighter build can make recoil management more noticeable than on heavier rifles.
- The side-baffle muzzle brake is included, which can help with recoil, but it also adds noise and blast at the firing line.
