Stand-Out Features
I ran three full cleaning cycles with Hoppes on our demo unit — the Cerakote finish didn’t show any wear. That’s rare for a hunting rifle at this price point. The carbon fiber stock shaves weight without sacrificing rigidity, and our customers report the adjustable trigger breaks clean at 3 lbs right out of the box.
