Key Features
- Pre-64 Controlled-Round-Feed Action — Why it matters: This classic design feeds cartridges reliably from the magazine into the chamber, reducing the chance of a jam when you need a quick follow-up shot on game.
- Precision M.O.A. Trigger System — Why it matters: A crisp, adjustable trigger helps you shoot tighter groups at the range or in the field, giving you confidence in your shot placement.
- Gloss AAA Maple Stock with Ebony Forearm Tip — Why it matters: The combination of high-grade wood and a durable gloss finish not only looks sharp but also resists moisture and wear, so the rifle stays handsome through years of hunts.
- Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pad — Why it matters: The 7mm Rem Mag packs a punch, but this pad soaks up recoil, making extended shooting sessions more comfortable and helping you stay on target.
- Drilled and Tapped for Optics — Why it matters: You can mount a scope right out of the box without extra gunsmithing, so you’re ready to zero in and hit the field faster.
Who It’s For

It’s also a great choice for the shooter who appreciates traditional craftsmanship and wants a rifle that performs well at the range or in the mountains. New gun owners looking for a solid bolt-action that’s easy to maintain will find the Super Grade straightforward to operate, while seasoned shooters will value its proven action and accuracy.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Reliable controlled-round feed; accurate M.O.A. trigger; beautiful maple stock; effective recoil pad; optics-ready.
- Cons: The high-gloss finish can show scratches more easily than a matte finish, so you’ll want to handle it with care in rough brush.
