Overview
Built for hunters who want a practical bolt-action rifle for field use, this model pairs a 7mm PRC chambering with a 20-inch barrel and a 3-round capacity. The Gen II version adds a more rigid ergonomic stock, fluted and threaded barrel, and a factory-installed radial brake, giving it a setup that is ready for optics and easier to manage at the shoulder. It also includes an adjustable stock, low comb, Picatinny scope base, and three-position tang safety, making it a straightforward option for hunting rigs where fit, control, and carry convenience matter. The gray splatter stock finish and Gun Metal Gray Cerakote treatment give it a restrained, functional look suited to harsh weather and hard use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 20" barrel and medium contour setup may be less compact than shorter hunting rifles when moving through tight cover or in a blind.
- The factory-installed radial brake can help reduce felt recoil, but it also adds muzzle blast and may be less pleasant for nearby shooters.
- The rifle ships with a 3-round capacity, so it is not intended for higher-capacity use.
- The adjustable stock and removable spacer offer fit flexibility, but the rifle still needs to be set up to match the shooter and optic height.
