Features 

The AccuTrigger is user-adjustable for pull weight, which helps shooters find a setting that works for their technique without aftermarket parts. The heavy sporter barrel is stiffer than a standard contour, keeping shots consistent as the barrel heats up. A one-piece rail is integrated for optics mounting, and the drilled/tapped receiver gives additional options if you prefer a different mounting solution. 
 
The 11/16x24 thread pitch is specific to 400 Legend and reflects the caliber's bore diameter, worth noting when shopping for suppressors or muzzle devices.

The compact 39.5-inch overall length and 6.8 lbs. weight make this easy to carry and maneuver, which is useful in dense cover where a lot of 400 Legend hunting takes place.
