Owners of this 1500 Superlite Gen2 in .308 Win frequently mention the Sub-MOA claim and say the rifle delivers on it with quality factory ammunition. Out-of-the-box performance is the main draw, and most shooters report no need for trigger work or action truing.

The gray/black webbing HS Precision stock is a practical choice for outdoor use. A few owners note the webbing pattern scuffs and shows wear faster than solid-color finishes, but the stock geometry is comfortable across different shooting positions.

The threaded 20-inch barrel gives this version more muzzle velocity than the shorter-barreled variant in the same line, which matters to long-range .308 Win shooters. Some owners want a longer barrel, but the 20-inch length is a reasonable compromise for a "superlite" platform.
