The mini action shortens the receiver footprint, producing a faster bolt cycle and reduced weight. The walnut stock adds classic ergonomics and a stable bedding platform for consistent groups. A 10-round detachable magazine supports sustained shooting scenarios while remaining compact in the stock design.
