Who It's For
This rifle is for the rimfire shooter who wants a lightweight, packable platform that delivers match-grade accuracy in 17 HMR. It’s ideal for varmint hunters who hike into remote spots, competition shooters in NRL22 or PRS rimfire events, and plinkers who appreciate a high-quality build. If you’re a new gun owner looking for a precision rimfire that’s easy to carry and shoot, this is a solid choice.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 5.2 lbs, folding stock for compact transport, carbon fiber barrel for accuracy, M-LOK handguard for accessories, TriggerTech-compatible trigger.
- Cons: The 17 HMR cartridge can be sensitive to wind at longer ranges, so this isn’t a 200-yard deer rifle. Also, the price point is higher than many rimfire options, but you’re paying for the chassis and carbon fiber build.
