Turner Fabrications Outfitter G3 Rifle — .35 Rem, 22-inch

The Turner Fabrications Outfitter G3 Rifle — .35 Rem, 22-inch is a break-open single-shot that skips the frills and delivers exactly what a precision hunter needs: a sub-6-pound platform with a hand-lapped Lothar-Walther barrel. Chambered in .35 Remington, this 5.80-lb rifle pairs a 22-inch fluted chromoly tube with a stainless Cerakote finish, an Elite XT trigger, and a hammer/trigger block safety. It ships with a mounted 3-9x40mm scope, making it ready to shoot out of the box. Overall length is 37.5 inches, action is right-hand only, and capacity is one round — because when you need one shot, you make it count.

Key Features

• Lothar-Walther 22-inch Fluted Barrel — Why it matters: Hand-lapped chromoly steel with fluting reduces weight without sacrificing stiffness, and the 1:14 twist rate stabilizes .35 Rem bullets from 150 to 200 grains for consistent sub-MOA groups at 200 yards.
• Elite XT Trigger — Why it matters: A crisp, user-adjustable trigger with a pull weight range of 2.5 to 4.0 lbs eliminates creep and let-off inconsistency, helping you break shots cleanly on game.
• Stainless Cerakote Finish — Why it matters: Corrosion-resistant coating on all metal surfaces protects against moisture, sweat, and field abuse, so the rifle holds zero and looks good after a wet week in the backcountry.
• Hammer/Trigger Block Safety — Why it matters: A two-position safety that locks both the hammer and trigger independently, giving you a positive mechanical block against accidental discharge when the rifle is loaded and carried.
• Factory-Mounted 3-9x40mm Scope — Why it matters: Ships with a pre-mounted and bore-sighted optic, saving you the cost and hassle of buying rings and a base — just mount it and zero.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the hunter who values light weight and reliability over magazine capacity. It’s for the guy who hikes miles into elk or black bear country and wants a rifle that carries like a carbine but hits like a magnum. The single-shot action forces you to make the first shot count, which suits experienced marksmen who don’t need a follow-up. If you run a suppressor or prefer a compact rig for thick cover, the 22-inch barrel and 37.5-inch OAL keep it handy.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Weighs only 5.80 lbs — easy to carry all day without a sling digging into your shoulder.
• Pro: Lothar-Walther barrel guarantees match-grade accuracy potential; hand-lapped rifling is a $200+ value on its own.
• Pro: Cerakote finish is tough and low-glare; won’t reflect light and spook game.
• Con: Single-shot capacity means no fast follow-up if you miss or need a second animal — plan your shot placement carefully.
• Con: Right-hand only action; left-handed shooters will need to adapt or look elsewhere.

FAQ

What is the twist rate of the barrel?

The 22-inch fluted Lothar-Walther barrel has a 1:14 twist rate, optimized for .35 Remington bullets from 150 to 200 grains. Per Turner Fabrications specs, this twist stabilizes standard hunting loads like the 200-grain Core-Lokt for consistent accuracy at 200 yards.

Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?

Yes, the 22-inch barrel is threaded 5/8-24 at the muzzle, matching common .35-caliber suppressor mounts. The Cerakote finish withstands heat from sustained fire, and the break-open action keeps the bore clear for easy suppressor attachment.

Is the trigger adjustable for pull weight?

The Elite XT trigger is user-adjustable from 2.5 to 4.0 lbs without removing the stock. A small hex key adjusts the sear engagement screw — instructions are included in the box.

Does the rifle come with a scope base or rings?

The Outfitter G3 ships with a 3-9x40mm scope already mounted and bore-sighted on a one-piece Picatinny rail. No additional base or rings are needed.
