The 600 mm (23.7 in) heavy, free-floating barrel is cold hammer-forged steel with a recessed crown and an unthreaded muzzle. A 1:8 twist rate supports popular 6.5 Creedmoor bullet weights for stable long-range performance.
The T3x action brings practical enhancements: an enlarged ejection port for easier single loading and clearance, a short 70° bolt lift for fast cycling, and a teardrop bolt handle for positive control. T3x upgrades also include a steel recoil lug and a metal bolt shroud.
The synthetic stock is modular and reinforced, featuring a wide beavertail forend, textured grip surfaces, sling studs, a crossbolt for strength, and a rubber recoil pad. A foam insert inside the stock helps dampen noise.
Mounting is straightforward with the integral 17 mm dovetail, and this rifle comes with Talley 1-inch ringmounts already installed. The right-hand bolt-action uses a 5+1 capacity detachable polymer box magazine. Safety is a two-position design with a red indicator. CIP proof marks and Finnish manufacture round out the rifle’s provenance.
