Key Features
- Carbon Fiber Barrel: The 22-inch carbon fiber barrel keeps the weight down to around 6.75 pounds total, so you can carry it up a mountain without feeling like you’re hauling an anvil. Why it matters: Less fatigue on long stalks means you’re steadier when it’s time to shoot.
- TriggerTech Adjustable Trigger: This trigger breaks clean and crisp, right out of the box. Why it matters: A predictable trigger pull helps you hold center on target, especially in cold weather or high-pressure moments.
- AG Sportsman Carbon Fiber Stock: The 100% carbon fiber stock includes M-LOK slots and QD cups for sling and bipod attachment. Why it matters: You can mount your gear directly to the stock without drilling or modifying anything.
- SA Radial Brake: The radial brake tames the 6.5 Creedmoor’s recoil, letting you spot your own hits through the scope. Why it matters: Faster follow-up shots and less flinch over a long day at the range.
- Fluted Bolt with EDM Raceways: The bolt is fluted and runs on electrical discharge machined raceways for smooth cycling. Why it matters: Consistent bolt travel means less chance of binding when you’re working the action fast.
Who It’s For

- Pro: TriggerTech trigger is adjustable and reliable.
- Pro: Stock has built-in M-LOK and QD mounts.
