Key Features
- 22″ Barrel: Gives you the velocity and accuracy to reach out on prairie dogs or whitetails — why it matters: longer sight radius means tighter groups at 200 yards.
- Fully Adjustable Folding Leaf Rear Sight: Lets you dial in elevation for different ranges — why it matters: no need for optics on short hunts; iron sights keep you fast and field-ready.
- Brass Bead Front Sight: Picks up light even in low dawn or dusk conditions — why it matters: when that buck steps out at last light, you see the bead clear.
- Single-Shot Action: One round, one focus — why it matters: teaches patience and marksmanship, and with a .223, you can carry more ammo for longer days afield.
- Safe Carry Design: Open action means no accidental discharge — why it matters: hiking through thick brush or climbing into a stand, you want peace of mind.
