Key Features
Precision Barrel Assembly
The 18-inch precision-crowned barrel is crafted from carbon steel, ensuring consistent projectile exit and mitigating group dispersion. This barrel length is optimized for .22LR ballistics, providing an advantageous balance of velocity retention and maneuverability. The matte blued finish provides corrosion resistance and a non-reflective surface.
Robust Bolt Action System
Designed for reliable operation, the Xpert Sporter features a smooth-cycling bolt action. Its positive lock-up mechanism facilitates consistent cartridge feeding and extraction, crucial for maintaining focus during critical engagements or extended training sessions. The system is engineered for longevity and consistent performance under varied conditions.
Ergonomic Stock Design
A sporter-style synthetic stock integrates seamlessly with the rifle’s action, offering superior durability and resistance to environmental factors compared to traditional materials. Molded grip surfaces enhance shooter interface and control, while integrated sling swivel studs allow for immediate sling attachment for transport or supported shooting positions.
Optimized Trigger System
The rifle incorporates an adjustable trigger, allowing the user to tune pull weight for a clean, predictable break. This adjustability facilitates enhanced shot placement and minimizes shooter-induced displacement, crucial for precision applications.
Optics Ready Receiver
The receiver is factory drilled and tapped, prepared for the direct installation of scope bases. This design ensures robust mounting of optical systems, providing a stable platform for target acquisition and shot repeatability.
Detachable Rotary Magazine
Equipped with a 10-round detachable rotary magazine, the Xpert Sporter offers efficient reloading and streamlined magazine changes. The rotary design promotes reliable feeding and maintains a compact profile.
