Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the serious hunter. It’s for the whitetail hunter waiting in a November treestand, where a single, precise shot is the only option. It’s for the western hunter covering miles of backcountry who needs a dependable, lightweight companion. It’s also an excellent choice for a new shooter looking for a high-quality, user-friendly first rifle that will last a lifetime. The crisp trigger and smooth action make mastering fundamentals easier.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The adjustable Feather Trigger is one of the best factory triggers available. The free-floated barrel and solid bedding with Inflex Technology deliver sub-MOA accuracy potential right from the factory. The 60-degree bolt throw is fast and unobtrusive. The rotary magazine feeds flawlessly and keeps the lines of the rifle clean.
Cons: At 7.8 lbs, it’s not the absolute lightest mountain rifle on the market, though it’s far from heavy. The classic sporter profile is highly effective but may not appeal to shooters seeking a more tactical chassis-style stock. Some hunters prefer a longer barrel for certain magnum calibers, but the 26-inch tube is a versatile standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
