Key Features

• Adjustable AccuTrigger – Why it matters: Lets you dial in trigger pull weight from 2.5 to 6 pounds, giving you a crisp break for tighter groups without creep.
• 20-Inch Heavy Sporter Barrel – Why it matters: This threaded barrel reduces muzzle rise and delivers consistent accuracy over multiple shots, plus accepts suppressors or brakes for recoil management.
• Left-Hand Action – Why it matters: Built specifically for left-handed shooters, the bolt handle and ejection port are positioned for natural cycling without breaking your cheek weld.
• Western Camouflage Stock – Why it matters: The fixed synthetic stock with a recoil pad keeps you steady in brush and timber, and the camo pattern helps you stay hidden from game.
• Detachable 4-Round Magazine – Why it matters: Low-profile design allows quick reloads and keeps the rifle slim for carrying through thick cover without snagging.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for left-handed hunters who want a compact, lightweight bolt gun for deer, varmints, or predator control. It fits shooters who prefer a shorter barrel for maneuverability in stands or still hunting, and who value a trigger they can tune without a gunsmith. If you’re after a factory rifle that’s ready for optics and accessories out of the box, this is a solid choice.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Adjustable trigger for custom feel; threaded barrel for suppressors; left-hand action for natural fit; affordable price point; one-piece rail included.
• Cons: The heavy sporter barrel adds a bit of weight up front compared to a standard contour, which can feel less balanced for off-hand shooting.
