• Compact Length of Pull — Sized for smaller shooters (12-inch length of pull), so kids and new shooters can shoulder it comfortably without stretching.

FAQ

Is this rifle suitable for left-handed shooters?

Yes, the bolt handle is on the right side, but the stock is ambidextrous and the single-shot action means you can load from either side. Left-handed shooters can easily operate it with practice.

What type of ammunition does it use?

It uses standard .22 Long Rifle (LR) ammunition. High-velocity or subsonic rounds work fine, but avoid .22 Short or .22 Magnum.

Does it come with a scope or sights?

It has a fiber-optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight. It’s not drilled for a scope mount, but you can add a rail with aftermarket parts if needed.

How do I clean the threaded barrel?

Use a .22 caliber cleaning rod and a bore brush with solvent. The threads can be cleaned with a nylon brush to remove carbon buildup. Always cap the threads when not using a muzzle device.

Is this rifle safe for a 10-year-old?

Yes, with proper adult supervision. The single-shot action and light trigger make it a safe choice for teaching fundamentals. Always follow basic firearm safety rules.
