Overview
Built for hunters and rimfire shooters who want a compact, optic-ready setup, this rifle combines a lightweight synthetic stock with a high comb module that supports scoped use. The interchangeable stock module lets the length of pull be adjusted quickly, while the threaded 16-inch barrel adds flexibility for compatible muzzle accessories. With a detachable BX-15 Magnum magazine and a 9-round capacity, it suits small-game hunting, field carry, and general outdoor use where handling and practicality matter.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 13.75" length of pull is fixed unless you swap the included stock module, so fit is tied to that modular setup rather than a fully adjustable stock.
- No front or rear sights are included, so the rifle is set up around optics or other sighting solutions from the start.
- The 16" barrel and 35" overall length make for a compact package, but that also means less barrel length than a full-size rimfire rifle.
- The included BX-15 Magnum magazine is detachable, but the listed capacity is 9, so magazine and capacity details should be confirmed for the intended use.
