Overview
Built for rimfire shooting where a compact, bolt-action platform is preferred, this rifle pairs a 17 HMR chambering with a 16.10-inch barrel and a 9-round rotary magazine. The interchangeable stock module includes a standard length of pull and a high comb that is well suited to optics, giving the rifle a more adaptable setup for field use or range work. Its black synthetic stock and satin blued alloy steel finish keep the package straightforward and functional, while the 1/2"-28 threaded barrel adds flexibility for compatible accessories. At 5.3 pounds and 35 inches overall, it offers a manageable size without adding unnecessary bulk.

Pros

- Flush-mounted 9-round rotary magazine included for convenient loading and carry.
- Accepts BX-15A(R) Magnum magazine for added magazine compatibility.
- Compact 16.10-inch barrel and 35-inch overall length suit a streamlined rimfire package.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 13.75" length of pull is fixed unless you swap the included stock module, so fit depends on whether that modular setup suits the shooter.
- At 35" overall length with a 16.10" barrel, it is compact, which can be handy for carry but leaves less barrel length than full-size rimfire rifles.
- The rifle ships with a 9-round rotary magazine and also accepts BX-15A(R) Magnum magazines, but magazine compatibility is still limited to the specified pattern.
- The high comb stock module is designed for optics use, so shooters preferring a lower comb may want to keep the standard module installed.
