The Super Sporter Model 45 is chambered in .30-06 and uses a detachable 4-round magazine for a 4+1 capacity. Its 24 inch steel barrel and blued finish pair with a walnut stock for a traditional sporting configuration.
The turn-bolt action uses a downturned bolt handle and an open-top receiver, with dual opposing locking lugs located mid-bolt for solid lock-up. A two-position, strap-style safety provides straightforward operation.
Sighting is handled by a ramped front blade, with rear sighting typical of the period; configurations may include a barrel-mounted adjustable leaf and/or a receiver-mounted aperture, providing a clean, practical sight picture.
Stock details include cut checkering, a straight comb, a steel buttplate, and checkered pistol grip and forend. Markings include the Utica, N.Y. barrel address—indicating pre-relocation production—and "HI-PRESSURE STEEL—PROOF TESTED." The length of pull measures 14.0 inches.
