The Blued finish lends a classy timeless look to the rifle, while also providing protection from corrosion.
This model comes with a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40mm BDC Reticle Rifle Scope, a great optic for mid to long range engagements, especially for hunting. The capped windage and elevation turrets ensure precise adjustments with a 1/4 MOA Click value, and the fully multi-coated lens enhances light transmission for a clear sight picture. The scope has a fixed parallax, meaning it's optimized for a certain range, thereby increasing its accuracy at said range.
