Detailed Features
The cold hammer-forged barrel is the standout spec here. The process produces a uniform bore with tight tolerances that contributes to consistent accuracy over the rifle's service life. The adjustable trigger breaks anywhere from 2.2 to 4.2 lbs, so different shooters can tune it to preference without aftermarket parts.
The three-position safety locks the bolt in the rear position, allowing safe unloading without having to defeat the safety, useful in the field. The beechwood stock has a neutral cast so it fits both right- and left-handed shooters.
At 6.7 lbs, this is on the lighter end for a 24.5" barreled rifle in a magnum cartridge. The 6.5 PRC cartridge runs flat and hits hard at distance while recoil stays manageable.
Usage
The 100 Classic is suited to hunters who want a capable long-range setup with a traditional look. The 6.5 PRC caliber handles deer and larger game well. For competitive use, the adjustable trigger and smooth bolt make it a viable option, though the beechwood stock is more traditional than tactical.
