Key Features
- Interchangeable Three-Lug Bolt Head — WHY IT MATTERS: You can swap bolt heads to change calibers without buying a new rifle; the 60-degree lift clears even the tightest scopes.
- Tool-Less Quick-Disassemble Bolt — WHY IT MATTERS: Field-stripping the bolt for cleaning or inspection takes seconds, not tools — keeps you in the match, not the pits.
- 20-Inch Fluted Stainless Steel Barrel (Cerakote) — WHY IT MATTERS: Fluting sheds weight and aids cooling; Cerakote resists corrosion from sweat or rain. The 1:8 twist stabilizes 140-grain ELD-Match loads for consistent 0.5 MOA.
- Modular OD Green Hybrid Hunter Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: Adjustable cheek riser and length of pull let you dial in your natural point of aim; the stock splits into two halves without tools for compact storage in a backpack or range case.
- Remington 700 Footprint — WHY IT MATTERS: Drop-in any R700 trigger (Timney, Geissele), chassis (MDT, KRG), or bottom metal — no gunsmith fitting needed.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the PRS shooter or precision hunter who wants a lightweight, modular platform that doesn’t sacrifice accuracy. If you’re running factory ammo and still demanding 0.5 MOA groups, the Pursuit delivers. It’s also for the tinkerer who wants to swap calibers or stocks without a trip to the gunsmith.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee with match ammo; tool-less bolt disassembly; adjustable stock; R700 aftermarket support; Cerakote finish.
- Cons: Factory trigger is a 3.5 lb two-stage — most competitors will swap it for a Timney or TriggerTech for lighter pull weight. Magazine is a 5-round AICS pattern, not a 10-rounder (buy aftermarket if you need more capacity in PRS).

FAQ
Does the Stag Arms Pursuit accept Remington 700 triggers?
Yes. The receiver is machined to the Remington 700 footprint, so it accepts all standard R700 triggers from Timney, Geissele, TriggerTech, and others. Drop-in fit, no modifications required.
What is the barrel twist rate?
The 20-inch fluted barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for 120-147 grain bullets. Per Stag Arms specs, it stabilizes factory 140-grain ELD-Match loads to sub-0.5 MOA.
Can I change the caliber?
Yes. The interchangeable bolt head system allows you to swap between 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Win (or other R700-based calibers) by changing the bolt head and barrel. The tool-less disassembly makes it a 10-minute job.
What magazines does it use?
It ships with one 5-round AICS-pattern magazine. It will accept any AICS short-action magazine (5, 10, or 15 rounds) from Magpul, MDT, or Accurate-Mag. Note: The stock’s magazine well is designed for AICS, not AR-10.
