Features
The muzzle brake cuts felt recoil noticeably, which helps when putting a lot of rounds downrange during practice or extended hunts. Combined with the 6.5 Creedmoor's already manageable recoil, follow-up shots stay easy to manage.
Browning's Feather Trigger has a light, crisp pull with the gold-plated finish serving as a visual indicator of the upgraded trigger group. The heavy contour sporter barrel adds stability at distance without pushing the weight into competition-rifle territory.
The adjustable comb and heel drop on the black walnut stock let you dial in cheekweld for your preferred optic height. The detachable 4-round rotary magazine loads smoothly and feeds reliably.
Usage
This is primarily a long-range hunting rifle - deer, elk, and similar game at distances where a standard sporter barrel starts to show its limits. The 22-inch barrel and 1:7 twist stabilize heavier 6.5 Creedmoor projectiles well. It also works for precision rifle practice and club competitions, though dedicated PRS shooters typically want a chassis system rather than a walnut stock.
