Who It’s For

Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at just over 7 pounds; factory-installed Accubrake ST reduces felt recoil; adjustable TriggerTech trigger; spiral-fluted barrel aids heat dissipation; Cerakote finish resists rust and wear.
- Cons: The stock is not fully adjustable for comb height, which may require a cheek pad for shooters using high-mounted scopes.
