The matte stainless steel action is forged in Japan, shares the proven Vanguard footprint, and incorporates a three-position safety plus the crisp, user-adjustable two-stage HACT trigger.

- Talley-style one-piece alloy 1-inch scope ring/base set (installed)
The stainless steel receiver and barrel resist corrosion, making the rifle well-suited to wet or harsh environments. A recessed crown helps protect the muzzle, while the 1:10" right-hand twist stabilizes a wide range of .30-06 bullet weights.
The Hogue OverMolded stock features pillar bedding for repeatable accuracy and a tactile rubber exterior that offers a secure grip even in foul weather. Integral sling studs come pre-installed for easy carry.
Howa’s HACT two-stage trigger delivers a crisp break and is user-adjustable to match individual preferences. Combined with the smooth bolt throw and a three-position safety that allows bolt lock, the rifle offers confident handling at the range or in the field.
An internal 4-round hinged floorplate magazine keeps the rifle slim and balances well under the hand. The included Talley-style one-piece ring/base set makes mounting a 1-inch optic straightforward.
