Key Features

Action and Feeding

The action uses Pre-64 style controlled round feed with a claw extractor and a jeweled bolt body. That controlled-round-feed design gives full control of the cartridge from magazine to ejection, reducing the chance of double-feeds or failures during critical shots.

Barrel and Accuracy Elements

The rifle ships with a cold hammer-forged free-floating featherweight profile barrel (24″ length listed) with a recessed target crown to protect the rifling. The forged steel receiver is bedded front and rear and uses an integral recoil lug to eliminate shifts in zero for consistent long-range groups.

Trigger, Safety and Recoil

The M.O.A. trigger system provides zero take-up, zero creep and zero overtravel for a repeatable break. A three-position safety displays status at a glance and the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad reduces felt recoil—important when paired with the 300 Win Mag chambering.

Caliber and Applications

Chambered in 300 Win Mag, this rifle is optimized for long-range hunting and large-game work where retained energy and flat trajectory matter. The three-round capacity, combined with a robust controlled round feed and blade-type ejector, makes it a reliable choice for remote hunting and precision field work.

Fit, Handling and Notes

With the classic Featherweight silhouette—Schnabel fore-end, satin walnut and cut checkering—the handling is quick from the shoulder. The advertised introductory description lists the rifle at 6 lbs 12 oz while spec details show 7 lb 4 oz depending on exact configuration; both reflect a rifle lighter than many full-profile match guns while retaining structural rigidity.
