Who It’s For
This rifle is built for law enforcement, military, and serious shooters who need a reliable, accurate rimfire for training, small-game hunting, or pest control. The .22 WMR cartridge offers more energy than .22 LR, making it suitable for varmints and close-range tactical practice. The green stock provides low-visibility in field environments.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Factory-threaded barrel, adjustable trigger, Power Bedding accuracy, 9+1 capacity, lightweight at 5.8 lbs, Sports South exclusive green stock.
- Cons: Magazine is single-stack only—no rotary magazine like the 10/22; the green stock may not appeal to all shooters.
