Key Features
- Hybrid-Profile Carbon Fiber Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: Keeps the rifle light at under 8 pounds while maintaining a rigid platform for consistent shot placement, even when carrying it all day.
- Fluted 24″ 416 Stainless Steel Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The fluting reduces weight and dissipates heat faster, so your barrel stays cooler during longer strings of fire, which helps keep groups tight.
- Dual-Locking Lugs with Fluted 4140 Tool Steel Bolt – WHY IT MATTERS: The fluted bolt body reduces friction and debris buildup, giving you smoother cycling and reliable extraction shot after shot.
- Optimized Extraction Cam – WHY IT MATTERS: This cam design ensures positive case extraction even with sticky or high-pressure 7mm PRC loads, so you don’t get hung up on the second shot.
- Accumag Magazine Included – WHY IT MATTERS: A 3-round steel magazine that feeds reliably and is easy to load, so you spend less time fiddling and more time shooting.
