This rifle was designed for long range accuracy, but also to be compact with low recoil. Measuring just 45 1/2 inches long it is much more compact that other rifles in this caliber. There is a large muzzle brake, a scope mount attached to the vented barrel shroud and a AR-15 style pistol grip. The Pachmayr vented recoil pad is attached to the bolt and comes off for loading. With a folding bipod and black padded suede leather cheekpad.
