Detailed Features
The 3-position safety handles bolt-locked, safe-fire, and bolt-release in one lever, useful in the field when unloading or chambering. At 7 lbs and 39.5 inches overall, the rifle is light enough for all-day carry without feeling flimsy. The 7mm-08 chambering produces noticeably less recoil than .308 Win with comparable trajectory, which is part of why it has a following among hunters who shoot a lot from field positions.
