Detailed Features

The Green Digital Camo finish covers both receiver and stock, which does help break up the outline in brushy terrain. At 5 lbs even, carrying it all day is not a problem. 
 
The synthetic grip holds up in wet conditions and doesn't add weight. The crossbolt safety is positive and easy to operate with a gloved hand.
