Key Features

• Carbon Fiber Wrapped Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces weight by 30% over steel while dissipating heat faster, keeping your groups tight during strings of fire.
• Left-Hand Action — WHY IT MATTERS: Lefties don’t have to break their cheek weld or reach across the receiver; the bolt throw is natural and fast for follow-ups.
• 20″ Barrel Length — WHY IT MATTERS: Balances velocity retention with maneuverability in the field or from a barricade, perfect for PRS or hunting.
• Tungsten Cerakote Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: Corrosion-resistant and low-glare, so it holds up to rain, mud, and match-day abuse without giving away your position.
• Adjustable Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Crisp, clean break down to 2.5 lbs lets you call your shots with confidence at 800+ yards.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for left-handed competition shooters who want a ready-to-run 22 Creedmoor platform for PRS, NRL Hunter, or long-range steel matches. It’s also ideal for precision hunters who need a lightweight rig that can reach out to 1,000 yards on elk or mule deer. If you’ve been waiting for a production left-hand rifle that doesn’t skimp on accuracy, this is it.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box; carbon barrel reduces felt recoil; left-hand action is rare in this price range; tungsten finish is durable and low-vis.
• Cons: 22 Creedmoor ammo can be harder to find than 6.5 Creedmoor; the carbon barrel requires careful cleaning to avoid delamination; stock is not fully adjustable for cheek height without aftermarket parts.
