Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight carbon stock, excellent trigger, included muzzle brake, Sub-MOA guarantee, durable Cerakote finish.
- Cons: The hinged floorplate magazine is a bit old-school for some shooters—if you prefer detachable box magazines, you may want to look at other options. Also, the carbon stock is not adjustable for length of pull or cheek height.
