The Mountain Rifle configuration emphasizes a lighter front end for carry, using a 22-inch light-taper sporter barrel with no iron sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, giving a clean, streamlined barrel profile that suits scoped use.
Chambered in .280 Rem, this rifle uses an internal box magazine with a 4+1 capacity and a BDL-style hinged floorplate operated by an inside-guard release. The right-hand, two-lug bolt has a jeweled body, and the action is the proven Model 700 pattern.
