The rifle is built on a long-action magnum configuration with a right-hand feed/eject and a large ejection port. Its 24-inch sporter-taper barrel is unthreaded and set up without iron sights, finished in matte blue to match the action. The bolt body is polished with a matte handle for a clean, functional contrast.
The synthetic stock is black/charcoal with a pebble-textured surface for grip. It incorporates a straight comb, molded cheekpiece, and a rubber recoil pad, along with front and rear sling swivel studs. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
