Key Features and Tactical Benefits

Cold Hammer Forged Barrel

Cold hammer forging increases barrel life and straightness, delivering tight groups over extended use. For competitive entry-level shooters and sporting applications, that translates into repeatable accuracy without frequent barrel swaps.

Steel Forged Bolt & Receiver

A forged bolt and receiver provide strength and smooth cycling. The three-position safety allows for safe handling in the field, while solid steel construction helps maintain consistent headspace and lockup under stress.

Hact 2-Stage Trigger & Handling

The Hact 2-stage trigger offers a predictable take-up and a clean break—ideal for precision shots where trigger control matters. Combined with the Hogue OverMolded stock and recoil pad, the setup reduces perceived recoil and improves follow-up accuracy.
