Design and Key Features

Barrel: The 18.5″ cold hammer-forged, blued steel barrel offers rigidity and repeatable harmonics for pinpoint groups. Cold hammer forging produces a durable bore and finish that stands up to years of use.

Stock and ergonomics: The high-quality hardwood stock with a satin finish provides a comfortable cheek weld and a traditional aesthetic that fits behind optics or iron sights. The satin surface reduces glare while remaining easy to maintain.

Action and feeding: A smooth bolt-action delivers consistent lockup and cycling, paired with a 9-round rotary magazine that keeps the rifle low-profile while providing ample capacity for extended shooting. Note: this rifle does not come with scope rings, so plan ring selection around your optic and desired cheek height.

Ballistics and Applications

The .17 HMR cartridge is known for high velocity, flat trajectory, and low recoil—ideal for varmint control and precision rimfire practice. Expect minimal wind drift at typical rimfire ranges and economical practice sessions that transfer fundamentals to larger-caliber platforms.

Price: $1,495.99 — a fair value for a cold hammer-forged barrel, hardwood stock, original box, and included 9-round rotary magazine. View product details and pricing.
