Features
The .270 Win. cartridge is well-suited to deer and similar game at moderate to long range, and the 22-inch barrel keeps it to a handy length in the field. The 5R rifling reduces fouling compared to traditional cut rifling, which is worth noting for cleaning. The adjustable trigger lets you dial in pull weight to your preference, useful for accuracy work at the range or fine shooting in the field.
The three-position safety locks the firing pin while allowing the bolt to cycle, so you can unload safely without taking the rifle off your shoulder. The composite stock is weather-resistant and lighter than wood, which pays off on longer walks.
