Key Features
- Carbon-Fiber-Wrapped Sendero Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The 22″ barrel keeps weight down without sacrificing stiffness, so you can carry this rifle all day and still hold sub-MOA groups at 800 yards.
- Zermatt Arms Titanium Action – WHY IT MATTERS: Titanium shaves ounces off the receiver while maintaining the strength needed for high-pressure .300 PRC loads. The action cycles smoothly, even in freezing temps.
- TriggerTech Trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: Adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds, this trigger breaks clean with zero creep. It helps you stay steady on target when the shot matters most.
- Ascension Carbon-Fiber Monte Carlo Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: The Green Jungle finish blends into timber and sage. The Monte Carlo cheekpiece aligns your eye with a scope naturally, and the carbon fiber sheds weight you’d feel on a long hike.
- 1-in-9 Twist Rate – WHY IT MATTERS: This twist stabilizes heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 225-grain ELD Match and 230-grain Berger hybrids, giving you better BC and less wind drift at distance.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who walks miles before sunrise and expects one shot at 600 yards. It’s for the shooter who wants a factory rifle that competes with custom builds. If you’re after a lightweight .300 PRC that you can carry up a mountain and trust on a trophy bull, this is it.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Lightweight build for a magnum rifle – under 7.5 pounds makes it packable.
- Pro: Factory accuracy – Proof barrels are known for consistent sub-MOA performance out of the box.
- Pro: Titanium action resists rust and saves weight.
- Con: The 22″ barrel loses some velocity compared to a 26″ tube – expect roughly 50-75 fps less with factory .300 PRC loads, but it’s a trade-off for maneuverability.
