What’s Included
- Full-length Picatinny optics rail with integral ghost-ring rear sight (installed)
The 19.1-inch stainless barrel is cold-hammer-forged for strength and accuracy, and threaded 11/16-24 to accept muzzle brakes or suppressors. A recessed crown protects the rifling at the muzzle.
A spiral-fluted stainless bolt cycles smoothly through the six-round magazine, while the oversized big-loop lever offers confident operation, even with gloves.
The grey laminated hardwood stock and matching forend resist moisture and temperature changes. Checkering on the pistol grip and forend provides a secure grasp without adding bulk.
A full-length Picatinny rail runs from receiver to barrel, giving ample real estate for optics, lights, or red dots. The rail’s built-in ghost-ring aperture pairs with a high-visibility green fiber-optic front sight for quick target acquisition out of the box.
Safety measures include a cross-bolt safety and a half-cock hammer notch. The 13.5-inch length of pull suits a wide range of shooters, making the rifle ready for hunting, guide duty, or range use.
