Key Features
- VAPR Twist Barrel (1:24″) – WHY IT MATTERS: The faster twist rate stabilizes heavier bullets (300–350 grain) and improves accuracy at extended ranges, giving you more bullet options for hunting or target shooting.
- Fluted and Threaded 26″ Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: Fluting reduces barrel weight and dissipates heat faster; threading allows suppressor or muzzle brake attachment for recoil management and noise reduction.
- Drilled and Tapped Receiver – WHY IT MATTERS: Ready for optics mounting without gunsmithing—includes one-piece Weaver-style scope mount for immediate setup.
- Veil Alpine Adjustable Cheek Piece and LOP Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: Customizable comb height and length of pull ensure proper eye alignment with optics and comfortable fit for different shooter builds.
- Elite XT Trigger System – WHY IT MATTERS: Fully adjustable trigger gives a clean, repeatable break—critical for consistent shot placement.
