Key Features
- Pre-64 Controlled Round Feed: Why it matters: This design ensures positive cartridge extraction and feeding, reducing the risk of jams in critical hunting situations. It’s a proven system trusted for over 70 years.
- M.O.A. Trigger System: Why it matters: Provides a crisp, adjustable trigger pull down to 3 pounds, helping you make precise shots at distance without creep or over-travel.
- 26-inch Free-Floating Barrel: Why it matters: The barrel doesn’t touch the stock, which minimizes pressure points and maintains consistent accuracy shot after shot, even during rapid fire.
- AAA Maple Stock with Ebony Forearm Tip: Why it matters: This high-grade wood offers stunning grain and stability, while the ebony tip adds durability and classic aesthetics. The cut checkering provides a secure grip in wet conditions.
- Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pad: Why it matters: Reduces felt recoil from the .300 Win Mag cartridge, making extended range sessions or follow-up shots more comfortable without sacrificing control.
