Key Features

• TriggerTech Adjustable Trigger: Factory-set at a crisp 2.5 lbs pull. This gives you a clean break for precise shot placement—critical when you’re carrying a lightweight rifle in the field or defending your home.
• Spiral Fluted Barrel and Bolt: Reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity. The fluting also helps dissipate heat faster during strings of fire, keeping your point of impact consistent.
• Radial Accubrake ST: Reduces felt recoil by up to 53% (per Weatherby specs). In a 5.6-lb rifle chambered in 30-06, that means you stay on target for fast follow-up shots.
• Skeletonized Bolt Knob: Shaves grams off the total weight and improves bolt manipulation speed. When you need to cycle quickly for a second shot, every ounce matters.
• Hand-Painted Sponge Pattern Stock: Provides a non-reflective, organic camouflage that blends into varied terrain. The polymer construction resists moisture and impacts better than wood.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the serious backcountry hunter or the concealed carrier who wants a lightweight, accurate bolt action for home defense or rural property protection. If you hike miles with a pack and need a rifle that won’t slow you down, this is it. It’s also ideal for the shooter who values a premium trigger and muzzle brake out of the box—no aftermarket upgrades required.

Pros / Cons

• Pros: Extremely light (5.6 lbs), factory-installed TriggerTech trigger, effective radial brake, spiral fluting for heat dissipation, durable Cerakote finish.
• Cons: The lightweight build increases felt recoil despite the brake—shooters sensitive to recoil may want to add a recoil pad or shoot reduced loads.
