Built on a Mauser 98–pattern action, this rifle uses a controlled-round-feed system with a large non-rotating claw extractor and twin bolt gas ports. It feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate and a 3-round capacity. The bolt features a checkered round knob and a bolt-shroud safety lever for straightforward handling.
The 24 in sporter-contour barrel is professionally ported; the port layout appears consistent with Mag-Na-Port–style trapezoidal cuts. This configuration is purpose-built for the .458 Win. Mag. chambering and is set up without iron sights.
The receiver is polished blued steel and is drilled and tapped for optics. Leupold two-piece bases and rings are installed, ready for the buyer’s scope choice. The rifle shows factory-style rollmarks reading ALEXANDRIA VIRGINIA INTERARMS MANCHESTER ENGLAND along with proof symbols on the receiver and barrel.
The wood stock is right-hand with a raised comb, cut checkering, and sling swivel studs. It has a tan/green camouflage paint finish and a recoil pad, with a measured length of pull of 13.0 in.
