Key Features
- LBA Adjustable Trigger – Mossberg’s Lightning Bolt Action trigger provides a crisp, user-adjustable pull weight from 2 to 7 pounds. This allows shooters to fine-tune trigger break for precise shot placement at extended ranges.
- 24-Inch Stainless Cerakote Threaded Barrel – The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 for muzzle brakes or suppressors, reducing recoil and signature. The Cerakote finish resists corrosion and wear, ensuring consistent accuracy in wet or salt-laden environments.
- Spiral Fluted Bolt – The bolt is spiral fluted to reduce weight and smooth cycling. This design also minimizes friction during rapid follow-up shots in field conditions.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver – The stainless steel receiver comes pre-drilled and tapped for scope bases, enabling immediate optic mounting without gunsmithing. This saves time and ensures alignment for zero retention.
- Fixed Synthetic Stock – The black synthetic stock is dimensionally stable and impact-resistant, providing a consistent cheek weld and bedding surface regardless of temperature or humidity shifts.
Who It’s For
This rifle is designed for law enforcement snipers, military marksmen, and serious hunters who require a .338 Win Mag platform for long-range engagements up to 1,200 yards. It fits shooters who prioritize reliability and accuracy over aesthetic frills. The threaded barrel and adjustable trigger make it suitable for both suppressed precision work and open-country hunting.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box; Cerakote finish adds durability; LBA trigger enhances consistency; threaded barrel simplifies suppressor attachment; price point undercuts competitors by 30-40%.
- Cons: Fixed stock limits length-of-pull adjustment for shooters with shorter or longer arms; synthetic stock feels less rigid than aluminum chassis systems under heavy recoil.
