Overview
Built around a compact chassis and a bolt-action .308 Win / 7.62x51mm NATO platform, this pistol is aimed at hunters and shooters who want a shorter, more portable setup without giving up a precision-oriented action. The 12" stainless steel barrel, threaded muzzle with SA Radial Brake, and adjustable TriggerTech trigger support a controlled shooting experience in a package designed for optics use and accessory mounting. Its Sharps Bros. 1913 Heatseeker Chassis adds extensive M-Lok coverage, a rear Picatinny rail for brace or stock attachment, and a B5 Systems P-Grip for a secure hold. It feeds from a 5-round AICS magazine and includes a padded rifle case, making it a practical option for transport and range use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 12" barrel and compact chassis make this a highly maneuverable setup, but they also mean you are working with a shorter overall package than a full-length rifle.
- It is chambered in .308 Win / 7.62x51mm NATO and feeds from a 5-round AICS magazine, so capacity is limited compared with higher-round-count platforms.
- The TriggerTech trigger is user-adjustable from 2.5 to 5 lbs, which gives flexibility but also means the pull weight is not fixed out of the box.
- Optics mount to a Rem 700 SA pattern Picatinny rail with 6-48 screws, so setup depends on compatible mounting hardware and the intended brace or stock arrangement.
