Key Features
Integrated Modern Utility
The Big Boy Steel XMOD features a synthetic M-LOK compatible forend, providing multiple attachment points for lights, lasers, and other tactical accessories. This modularity allows for comprehensive mission customization, extending the rifle’s application beyond traditional sporting use. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, facilitating direct attachment of suppressors or muzzle devices to mitigate recoil and muzzle rise, or to reduce the firearm’s auditory signature. A Picatinny rail section is factory-installed, enabling direct optic mounting for enhanced precision and rapid target acquisition without requiring aftermarket adapters.
Durable Construction
Constructed with a blued steel receiver, this rifle provides a robust and resilient chassis capable of withstanding rigorous use. The synthetic stock and forend enhance durability, offering superior resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, temperature fluctuations, and impact damage compared to traditional wood furniture. This material choice ensures consistent handling and reduced maintenance requirements in demanding environments.
Reliable Performance
The classic lever-action mechanism of the Big Boy Steel XMOD is renowned for its reliability and smooth cycling. Chambered in .45 Long Colt, it delivers substantial terminal performance suitable for hunting, personal defense, and competitive scenarios. The rifle incorporates a transfer bar safety system, providing a secure method of carry while maintaining rapid deployment capability. The tubular magazine design ensures consistent feeding and a substantial capacity for sustained engagement.
Ergonomics and Handling
The black synthetic stock features a textured grip surface, enhancing purchase and control during dynamic maneuvers or adverse weather conditions. The design facilitates a natural point of aim and comfortable shoulder integration, contributing to repeatable accuracy. The overall balance of the rifle is optimized for rapid target transition and extended carry without undue fatigue.
