Built on the Howa Model 1500 action, this rifle is configured with a 22 inch sporter-profile barrel and a recessed/crowned muzzle. The external metal finish is dark/blued, matching the dark/blued receiver for a consistent look.
The rifle is stocked in a black composite Bell & Carlson stock with textured, molded checkering-style panels, along with a recoil pad. Length of pull is 13.5, providing a defined fit measurement for the current stock setup.
It uses an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, with a stated capacity of 4+1. This configuration keeps the rifle streamlined while maintaining practical loading and unloading through the floorplate system.
There are no iron sights on this rifle. A scope mount is present, and the included Leupold riflescope is already mounted, aligning with the rifle’s sighting setup as currently configured.
