Key Features
- Factory-Set Single-Caliber Configuration: Why it matters: This eliminates the complexity and weight of a multi-caliber system, providing a dedicated .308 Win platform that is ready for precision shooting, competition, or field use without adjustment.
- Free-Floated, Fluted 17-Inch Barrel: Why it matters: The 17-inch barrel is both free-floated for consistent harmonics and fluted to reduce weight while improving heat dissipation, maintaining accuracy over extended strings of fire.
- Vertically Adjustable Cheek Piece: Why it matters: The fixed stock includes a vertically adjustable cheek piece for consistent sight alignment, crucial for repeatable cheek weld and long-range precision.
- High Parts Commonality with Standard MRAD: Why it matters: This ensures that spare parts and accessories from the broader MRAD ecosystem are compatible, simplifying maintenance and upgrades for existing MRAD owners.
- 10-Round Detachable Box Magazine: Why it matters: The included 10-round magazine offers ample capacity for competition stages or field use while maintaining a low profile for prone or barricade shooting.
