Backcountry & Horseback Hunts: Lightweight package with the reach to capitalize on fleeting shot windows.
Precision Practice & Steel: Validate ballistics and hold confidence at 500–1,000 yards with quality ammunition and optics.
Setup Tips for Best Results
Optics: Pair with a lightweight dialing scope (e.g., 3–15x, 4–20x) with dependable tracking and quality glass.
Mounts: Use robust rings/bases; torque to spec and confirm in field positions, not just the bench.
Muzzle Device: Add a directional brake for flatter recoil or a suppressor (where legal) for reduced blast and improved impact calling.
Ammunition: Test multiple 28 Nosler loads (common favorites in the 160–185 grain range) to find your rifle’s accuracy node.
Zero & Dope: Zero at 100 or 200 yards then true your solver at real distances (500–800 yards) for hunt-ready confidence.
Ergonomics & Handling
Left-Hand Bolt: Natural cycling and cheek weld for left-handed shooters, reducing movement and time between shots.
Textured Grip & Forend: The black/tan webbing adds tactile control with sweaty gloves or wet weather.
Balanced Build: 22" barrel keeps overall length manageable in brush, blinds, and on steep sidehills.
Maintenance & Care
Routine Cleaning: Carbon and copper management preserves peak accuracy—clean with appropriate rods, jags, and solvents.
Protective Wipe-Down: After wet or dusty hunts, dry thoroughly and lightly oil exposed metal; store with a thread protector if no device is mounted.
Torque Checks: Re-verify action screw and optic torque after travel or major temperature swings.
Safety & Compliance
Know the Law: Threaded barrels, suppressors, transport, and hunting regs vary by state. Verify local, state, and federal rules.
Safe Handling: Treat every firearm as loaded; keep the muzzle in a safe direction; finger off the trigger until on target.
Secure Storage: Use a locking case or safe and store ammunition separately.
