Overview

Built for hunters who want a modern bolt-action platform in a straight-forward package, this rifle pairs a 20" barrel with a 5-round capacity and a gray splatter stock for a practical, ready-to-set-up field rifle. The gun metal gray Cerakote finish adds a durable look to the barrel, while the redesigned action and more efficient trigger system are intended to support a smoother shooting experience.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • The 20" barrel and 41.25" overall length make this a more substantial setup than compact hunting rifles, so it may be less convenient in tight cover or when carrying over long distances.
  • The rifle ships without sights, so an optic or other sighting solution will be needed before use.
  • The 5-round magazine capacity may be limiting for users who want a larger on-board round count.
  • The adjustable length of pull (12"–13.75") offers fit flexibility, but it also means the rifle may need a little setup time to dial in properly.
