Key Features
- Roughtech Synthetic Stock: The textured surface and modular grip system deliver a slip-free hold in rain, mud, or sweat, so you stay on target when it counts.
- Fluted, Threaded Barrel (22.4 in): The fluting reduces weight and dissipates heat faster, while the threaded muzzle lets you mount a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith.
- Fluted Bolt: Lighter and smoother than a standard bolt, it cycles fast for follow-up shots and reduces reciprocating mass.
- Two-Position Safety: Locks the bolt and trigger in the safe position, giving you a clear mechanical block between stages or in the field.
- Included Muzzle Brake: Cuts recoil and muzzle rise, keeping your sight picture steady through a string of fire.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for competition shooters and precision enthusiasts who need a lightweight, weather-resistant platform for PRS, NRL Hunter, or long-range practice. It also suits hunters who want a do-it-all .308 that can handle backcountry abuse without dragging them down.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The Roughtech stock’s texture and grip inserts let you shoot one-handed or off barricades without losing control.
- Pro: Factory threaded barrel and included brake mean you save $150+ on aftermarket parts.
- Con: The 3-round magazine capacity is limiting for stages that require 5+ rounds; you’ll want to buy extended mags for heavy-volume matches.
- Con: The stock’s LOP is fixed—no spacers included, so taller shooters may need an aftermarket pad.
