The heavy barrel profile, combined with the rifle’s substantial overall weight of approximately 15 pounds, helps reduce recoil and minimize movement during firing. The platform is further enhanced with a tube-style forend fitted with a vise block, reinforcing its intended role as a bench or precision rifle rather than a lightweight field carbine.
This example is equipped with a fully adjustable Jewell match trigger assembly, delivering an exceptionally refined trigger pull with a short, crisp reset and a very clean two-stage break that stands out as a highlight of the rifle. It also features a Leupold Vari-X III optic, an oversized palm-swelled pistol grip with thumb shelf for improved ergonomics, and a fixed Choate A1-style stock. The stock has been filled with lead, contributing to the rifle’s weight and further stabilizing it for precision shooting. Overall, this is a purpose-built accuracy platform with high-end components and excellent shooting characteristics.
