Key Features

• Factory-Configured Single Caliber – Set in .300 Norma Magnum from the factory, eliminating the need for barrel or bolt swaps. Why it matters: You get a dedicated long-range platform with no modular complexity, ideal for consistent precision under field conditions.

• Fixed Non-Folding Stock – Rigid, non-adjustable stock in FDE for maximum stability. Why it matters: Eliminates potential play or flex in folding mechanisms, delivering repeatable cheek weld and consistent point of impact.
• MRAD Component Commonality – Shares magazines, triggers, and chassis parts with standard MRAD rifles. Why it matters: Lowers spare parts inventory and simplifies maintenance if you already run MRAD platforms in other calibers.
• Flat Dark Earth Finish – Corrosion-resistant Cerakote in matte FDE. Why it matters: Reduces glare and blends with arid environments, while protecting against salt spray and moisture.
