Key Features
- Titanium Action & Carbon Barrel – Why it matters: Drops weight to about 5.5 lbs, so you can carry it all day without fatigue, while the carbon wrap keeps the barrel stiff for consistent accuracy shot after shot.
- Hand-Laid Aerograde Carbon Fiber Stock – Why it matters: Reduces overall weight and dampens recoil, helping you stay on target for fast follow-up shots in the field.
- 16.25″ Threaded Barrel with Side-Baffle Brake – Why it matters: The short barrel keeps the rifle compact for tight cover, and the threaded muzzle lets you add a suppressor or brake. The side-baffle brake cuts recoil noticeably, making it more pleasant to shoot.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver – Why it matters: You can mount optics right away without extra gunsmithing, so you’re ready to zero and hunt sooner.
- 4+1 Round Capacity – Why it matters: Enough rounds for multiple opportunities in the field without adding bulk or weight to the rifle.
Who It's For
This rifle is built for the hunter who hikes miles into the backcountry and wants a lightweight, reliable bolt gun that shoots sub-MOA. It’s also a great choice for the shooter who appreciates premium materials and wants a rifle that will hold up to years of hard use. New gun owners will find it easy to carry and simple to maintain, though the price reflects its high-end build.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Incredibly light at about 5.5 lbs – one of the lightest production .308 bolt actions available.
- Pro: Carbon-wrapped barrel sheds heat fast, so accuracy stays consistent even during strings of fire.
- Pro: Side-baffle brake tames .308 recoil, making it comfortable for new shooters.
- Con: The 16.25″ barrel means you lose about 100-150 fps compared to a 20″ barrel, so it’s less ideal for long-range precision past 600 yards.
