Key Features and Engineering
Caliber Performance
Chambered in .243 Winchester, this rifle utilizes a versatile cartridge suitable for effective deer hunting and consistent target engagement. The chambering provides a balanced trajectory and adequate terminal performance for a range of field pursuits.
Integrated Safety Mechanisms
The action incorporates a rebounding hammer mechanism, preventing firing pin contact unless the trigger is deliberately actuated. An interlock system further enhances operational safety by precluding barrel opening with a cocked hammer and preventing closure if cocked while open. This engineering prioritizes secure handling characteristics.
Durable Construction and Materials
This rifle features a 22-inch blued steel barrel, precisely mated to a blued steel receiver, ensuring structural integrity and consistent service life. The American walnut stock provides a classic aesthetic while offering a secure, ergonomic grip for reliable handling and enhanced control.
Sight System and Optics Integration
Equipped with a traditional brass bead front sight and a leaf rear sight for immediate field utility. The receiver is factory drilled and tapped, facilitating direct mounting of preferred optical systems. This capability optimizes the rifle’s utility for various precision applications, from target work to extended range hunting.
