Overview
Built for shooters who want a lever-action rimfire in a compact, traditional format, this rifle pairs a 20-inch octagon barrel with a grooved receiver and straight-grip American walnut stock. Chambered in .17 HMR with 13+1 capacity, it suits small-game hunting and general field use where a lighter, handier rifle is preferred. The brass bead front sight and fully adjustable Semi-Buckhorn rear sight with Diamond Insert provide a straightforward sighting setup for deliberate shooting. At 38 inches overall and 6.50 pounds, it offers a balanced carry without adding unnecessary bulk.

Pros

- 20-inch octagon barrel gives the rifle a distinctive, classic profile.
- 13+1 capacity supports extended shooting before reloading.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 13+1 capacity is useful for extended range sessions, but it also means the rifle is sized and configured around a larger magazine load than a simple low-capacity setup.
- At 38" overall length and 6.50 lbs, it is not a compact lightweight option, so carry and handling preferences should be considered for long days afield.
- The 20" octagon barrel and straight-grip stock give it a traditional profile, but that configuration may not suit hunters looking for a more modern or compact feel.
- Sights are included, but the setup relies on brass bead front sights and a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear, so users wanting optics may need to plan around the grooved receiver.
