Design highlights that matter

The fluted, sporter-weight barrel reduces overall mass without sacrificing the rigid platform needed for precision. Fluting improves barrel cooling and lowers weight — a real advantage on long approaches. The radial muzzle brake tames felt recoil and muzzle rise, helping shooters maintain sight picture for rapid, accurate follow-ups. A Cerakote Smoked Bronze finish adds abrasion and corrosion resistance while keeping reflectivity low in field conditions. The composite stock with Browning OVIX Camo is engineered for durability in harsh environments and provides the low-maintenance platform mountain hunts demand.
