Key Features

• Carbon Fiber Stock with Adjustable Comb — The lightweight stock reduces carry weight while the adjustable comb ensures proper cheek weld for consistent shot placement, critical for long-range precision.
• Spiral-Fluted 26-Inch Barrel with Threaded Muzzle — The fluting dissipates heat faster and reduces barrel whip, and the 5/8×24 threading accepts the included Recoil Hawg brake or your suppressor, giving you muzzle control options.
• X-Lock Scope Mounting System — Four screws per ring base lock the optic in place, eliminating zero shift from recoil or field abuse, so your glass stays true to the bore.
• Recoil Hawg Muzzle Brake — This brake cuts felt recoil by up to 30%, letting you spot your own impacts and stay on target for faster follow-up shots.
• Matte Blued Receiver with Smoked Bronze Cerakote Bolt — The Cerakote on the bolt reduces friction and resists corrosion, while the matte blued receiver minimizes glare in bright conditions.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the hunter who demands precision at extended ranges—whether you’re chasing elk in the Rockies or pronghorn on the plains. It’s also a fit for the competitive shooter running NRL Hunter or PRS divisions that allow production rifles. If you want a turn-key system that shoots sub-MOA without gunsmithing, this is your rig.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Factory barrel delivers sub-0.75 MOA groups with match ammunition, verified by multiple reviewers.
• Pro: The X-Lock system holds zero after 200+ rounds of heavy 7mm Mag loads.
• Con: The carbon fiber stock can feel slightly flexy under bipod load at max elevation, but it’s still rigid enough for hunting scenarios.
• Pro: The Recoil Hawg brake makes the 7mm Mag shoot like a .243, reducing fatigue during long range sessions.
• Con: The bolt throw is a bit stiff out of the box, but it smooths out after 50-100 cycles.

The factory twist rate is 1:9.5 inches, optimized for 140-175 grain bullets common in 7mm Rem Mag loads.
