Overview
Built for hunters and shooters who want a compact, adaptable rifle setup, this model pairs a 16.1-inch barrel with a 10-round capacity and a Picatinny scope base for flexible optics mounting. The adjustable length of pull and removable low comb help tailor the fit to the shooter, whether the rifle is being used with magnified optics or low-mounted sights. A splatter-finished stock adds secure grip without feeling overly abrasive, while the soft recoil pad is designed to make shouldering more comfortable. With its 5.56 chambering and ranch-style configuration, it suits field carry, range work, and practical hunting applications where a shorter, easy-handling rifle is preferred.

Pros

- Soft rubber recoil pad is designed for easier shouldering and reduced felt recoil.
- Adjustable length of pull from 13.75 inches to 12 inches helps refine fit.
- Installed low comb supports sight alignment with magnified optics.
- Low comb can be removed when using low-mounted sights.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 12" to 13.75" length-of-pull range is useful for fit adjustment, but it requires removing the installed spacer to change the setup.
- The installed low comb is geared toward magnified optics; if you plan to run low-mounted sights, the comb may need to be removed.
- The rifle ships without sights, so a sighting solution will need to be added through the Picatinny scope base.
- The 10-round capacity may be more than needed for some hunting setups and can add bulk compared with lower-capacity configurations.
Suggested Comparisons
