Features 

 
The sporter contour barrel keeps weight down without going to an ultralight profile, which is a practical balance for a hunting rifle. The matte blued finish reduces glare in the field. The composite stock is unaffected by humidity and temperature swings that can shift wooden stock geometry and affect accuracy. At 4+1 the detachable magazine gives one more round than many .270 bolt guns carry. The non-reflective finish on both metal and stock is consistent throughout.
