Key Features
- Left-Hand Bolt Action – The action is specifically designed for left-handed shooters, so you get a natural, smooth cycling motion without reaching across the receiver.
- User-Adjustable AccuTrigger – You can dial in the trigger pull weight from about 2.5 to 6 pounds, giving you a crisp, clean break that helps you shoot tighter groups.
- Threaded 5/8×24 Barrel with 1:8 Twist – The 16.13-inch barrel is threaded for suppressors or muzzle devices, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes heavier .300 Blackout subs and supers equally well.
- Drilled-and-Tapped Steel Receiver – Mounting optics is straightforward with standard bases, so you can add a scope or red dot without extra gunsmithing.
- Lightweight Synthetic Stock – The fixed matte gray stock keeps the rifle under 7 pounds, making it easy to carry through the woods or on long range days.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for left-handed hunters who want a compact, suppressed-ready .300 Blackout for deer or hogs at moderate ranges. It also fits target shooters who appreciate the AccuTrigger’s adjustability and the ability to run subsonic loads quietly. New gun owners will find the simple, reliable design easy to learn on.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Out-of-the-box accuracy is consistent, often shooting 1-inch groups at 100 yards with good ammo.
- Pro: The left-hand action is a rare find in this price range, saving southpaws from hunting for custom builds.
- Con: The synthetic stock has a basic feel and lacks adjustable cheek risers or length-of-pull spacers, which may require aftermarket upgrades for a perfect fit.
