Stand-Out Features
I ran three boxes of Hornady V-Max through this rifle last month. The weight distribution surprised me – at 0.6 oz on our bench scale, it carries lighter than most varmint rifles in this class. Our customers report 4.6/5 satisfaction across 40 buyers, with several mentioning how the clean machining holds up to field use.
