Key Features
- Aerograde carbon fiber stock: Why it matters — this Monte Carlo design gives you a traditional feel while shaving off nearly a pound compared to synthetic stocks, so you can carry it all day without fatigue.
- Free-floating, hand-lapped carbon-wrapped barrel: Why it matters — consistent barrel harmonics and minimal contact points mean tighter groups, even after multiple shots in the field.
- Threaded muzzle (5/8×24): Why it matters — you can attach a muzzle brake or suppressor directly without extra gunsmithing, keeping your setup simple and quiet.
- TriggerTech trigger: Why it matters — a crisp, adjustable trigger pull helps you shoot more accurately, especially when you’re cold or nervous on a hunt.
- Spot bedding at receiver: Why it matters — precision bedding locks the action into the stock for repeatable sub-MOA performance, shot after shot.
Who It’s For
