Detailed Features
The barrel is 416 stainless steel, a material that holds up well to fouling and weather. The Graphite Black Cerakote protects against corrosion and wear. The manual safety gives a straightforward on/off, with no ambiguity about its state.
The fiberglass stock is fixed, no adjustable length of pull, but fiberglass keeps weight consistent in wet or cold conditions where wood can shift. The sand camouflage pattern works reasonably well across open and lightly wooded terrain.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, so you can configure optics to suit your shooting distance without machining work.
Usage
In .22-250, the rifle is well-suited to varmint and predator hunting where flat trajectory matters. At the range it performs equally well for accuracy work. The caliber's lower recoil means follow-up shots are quick and consistent.
