It ships with one 10-round parkerized steel detachable magazine. Aftermarket magazines in 20-round capacities are available, but check local laws for restrictions.

Can I use this rifle for hunting?
Yes. The .308 Win cartridge is suitable for medium to large game like deer, elk, and black bear. The 22-inch barrel provides sufficient velocity for ethical shots at typical hunting distances.
How does the two-stage trigger differ from a single-stage?
