Features for Montana Shooters
This rifle’s carbon fiber barrel, made by Proof Research, shaves off around 1.5 pounds compared to a traditional steel barrel, which makes a difference on a steep Montana hillside. The adjustable carbon fiber stock lets you dial in fit without tools, important for consistent shooting in varying weather. Key features include:
- Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction: Reduces fatigue during long days in the field or at the range.
- Adjustable TriggerTech Trigger: Offers a crisp, clean pull for precise shot placement.
- Adjustable Stock: Allows for a customized fit for improved comfort and accuracy.
- SA Radial Brake: Helps manage recoil, allowing for quicker follow-up shots.
- Smooth Bolt Action: Electrical discharge machining on the bolt raceways provides a smooth, reliable cycling action.
Who Will Use This Rifle?
This rifle fits a couple of Montana needs well. For hunters, the Waypoint is a solid choice for those pursuing elk or deer at longer ranges where weight is a critical factor. It’s equally capable for target shooting, whether you’re practicing for a hunt or competing in a local PRS match. It’s a good option if you want a rifle that performs without the expense of a true custom build.
