Key Features
- 22-inch Stainless Fluted Barrel – The fluting reduces weight and increases surface area for faster cooling between strings, critical when you’re chasing tight groups in a match.
- 11/16×24 Threaded Muzzle – Threaded standard means you can mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without an adapter, keeping your setup clean and repeatable.
- Adjustable Comb and LOP Spacers – Dial in your cheek weld and length of pull for a consistent, repeatable sight picture every time you break the action.
- 0 MOA Picatinny Rail – Pre-installed, zero-cant rail gets your scope mounted dead-flat, so you’re not fighting elevation adjustments on a short-range .45-70.
- Break-Action Receiver – Simple, robust, and easy to clean – no bolt to lose, no magazine to fumble. Just load, close, and send it.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the handloader who wants to push 300-grain projectiles at 1800 fps or drop a 405-grain hardcast on a hog at 100 yards. It’s also a solid choice for the single-shot enthusiast who appreciates the discipline of one shot, one hit in competition or hunting.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Lightweight at 7.8 lbs, threaded for suppressor use, adjustable stock for precise fit, stainless construction resists corrosion, and the 1:20 twist handles heavy bullets well.
Cons: The 22-inch barrel limits velocity compared to longer tubes; if you’re chasing max FPS with light loads, a 24-inch might edge ahead. Also, the break-action design means no magazine-fed follow-up – but that’s the point in a single-shot.

FAQ
