The Special Purpose configuration pairs a matte-finished receiver marked "SPECIAL PURPOSE" with durable synthetic furniture in camouflage. This variant was discontinued in 2020, making this setup notable for buyers seeking the model as configured from the factory.
The self-compensating gas system is designed for reliable cycling with both 2 3/4" and 3" shells. Capacity is 4+1, and controls include a cross-bolt safety and a standard round charging handle.
The 25.5" vent-rib barrel uses interchangeable screw-in chokes and is currently fitted with a flush tube. A single front bead provides a clean, familiar sight picture on the rib.
The stock and forend are synthetic with molded texturing for a secure grip. The fixed stock includes a recoil pad and a 14.0" length of pull. A magazine cap with an integral front sling-swivel stud adds practical carry capability.
