Key Features
- Manual-Cocking Bolt Action: Requires deliberate cocking before each shot, reinforcing safe handling and consistent trigger pull. The rebounding firing pin adds an extra safety layer, preventing accidental discharge if the rifle is dropped.
- 16.10″ Threaded Bull Barrel: The heavy-profile barrel reduces vibration and heat shift, enhancing shot-to-shot consistency. The 1/2×28 threads allow direct attachment of suppressors or muzzle devices, making it range- or hunting-ready out of the box.
- Adjustable Length-of-Pull Synthetic Stock: Fits shooters from youth to adult with a simple adjustment mechanism. The target-style stock provides a stable cheek weld and a wide forend for benchrest or prone shooting.
- Drilled-and-Tapped Receiver: Accommodates standard scope bases without gunsmithing. This allows shooters to mount optics for precision work or use the included iron sights for plinking.
- Rebounding Firing Pin Safety: The firing pin retracts after each shot, preventing contact with the chambered round until the bolt is manually cocked. This mechanical safety reduces the risk of slam-fires.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for shooters who value simplicity and accuracy over speed. Law enforcement trainers use single-shot .22s for fundamentals. Military personnel appreciate the manual-cocking action for training trigger discipline. Serious shooters who want a dedicated precision .22 LR for small-game hunting or benchrest competition will find this platform reliable.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Threaded bull barrel for suppressor use without adapter cost.
- Pro: Adjustable stock fits multiple shooters, reducing the need for aftermarket parts.
- Pro: Blued finish resists corrosion in humid environments.
- Con: Single-shot action limits follow-up speed; not ideal for rapid-fire drills.

FAQ
What optics can I mount on this rifle?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard #8-40 scope bases. You can mount any .22 LR-rated scope using Weaver or Picatinny rings. The 16.10″ barrel length provides enough rail space for most red dots or low-power variables.
Does the threaded barrel come with a thread protector?
Yes, the barrel includes a thread protector installed. Remove it before attaching a suppressor or muzzle brake. The threads are 1/2×28, common for .22 LR accessories.
Is this rifle suitable for left-handed shooters?
The bolt is right-handed. Left-handed shooters can operate it, but it requires reaching over the receiver. For left-handed use, consider a left-handed bolt model from Davey Crickett.
Can I adjust the trigger pull weight?
The trigger is not user-adjustable. It breaks at approximately 3.5 lbs per manufacturer specs. For a lighter pull, a gunsmith can polish the sear surfaces, but this voids the warranty.
What is the effective range for small-game hunting?
With iron sights, accurate shots are possible out to 50 yards. With a scope, the rifle maintains sub-2 MOA groups at 100 yards. This is sufficient for squirrels, rabbits, and similar game.
