The rifle is built on a Howa 1500 steel receiver with a blued finish and a right-hand bolt. The bolt features a swept handle with a polished knob, and the polished bolt body is visible through the ejection port. Markings indicate it was made in Japan and imported by LSI, Alexandria, Virginia.
Chambered in .243 Win, it uses a 22-inch bead-blasted stainless sporter-contour barrel with a plain crown and no iron sights. The included Nikko Stirling Gold Crown scope with a duplex reticle is mounted on two-piece bases and rings, ready for sighting-in.
The Hogue OverMolded synthetic stock is medium gray with a pebble texture and molded grip and fore-end panels for secure handling. A matching gray Hogue-branded recoil pad and installed sling swivel studs round out the stock features. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Feeding is via an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, offering a 4-round capacity. The combination of the sporter barrel and Hogue stock delivers a straightforward, field-ready configuration in a proven .243 Winchester platform.
