Why Hunters Choose the Carbon Stalker in 7mm PRC

• 7mm PRC chambering: Modern, efficient cartridge engineered for high-BC bullets, flat trajectories, and superb wind performance on big game.

• 24" threaded barrel: Optimizes velocity while keeping the rifle balanced; ready for a brake or suppressor (thread protector typically included).

• Howa M1500 action: Cold-hammer-forged barrel and a smooth, proven push-feed action known for out-of-the-box accuracy and reliability.

• Natural carbon fiber stock: Strong, rigid, and exceptionally light to tame recoil and reduce carry fatigue on long climbs.

• Blued barrel/receiver: Classic, low-glare appearance with durable protection.

• 3+1 capacity: Practical field load-out in a streamlined package.

• Precision-ready: Crisp trigger feel and stable bedding geometry support consistent cold-bore and follow-up shots.

Built for the Backcountry

Made for hunters who earn every vertical foot, the Carbon Stalker trims ounces where it matters. The natural carbon fiber stock resists temperature swings and moisture, helping maintain a stable point of impact when conditions change. Its stiffness reduces flex during prone or field-expedient rests, translating your fundamentals directly into repeatable accuracy.

7mm PRC: Efficient Power, Extended Reach

The 7mm PRC cartridge shines with heavy-for-caliber, high-BC projectiles, giving you flatter flight, more forgiving wind calls, and ethical terminal performance at distance. Pair the Carbon Stalker’s 24" tube with today’s premium hunting loads and you’ll have the speed and stability to make decisive shots from the timber edge to windswept basins.

Threaded for Control & Versatility

The threaded muzzle makes it easy to add a muzzle brake to reduce recoil and spot impacts—or a suppressor to lower blast and protect hearing. Either way, the 24" barrel balances beautifully with modern optics, keeping the rifle nimble for awkward shot angles and tight blinds.

Ergonomics That Work in Real Hunts

The stock’s neutral geometry supports a consistent cheek weld with today’s larger scopes. Textured contact points give confident purchase with gloves or in wet weather, while the light overall weight helps you stay steady off sticks, packs, or a hasty rock rest when seconds count.

Ideal For

• Western big game (elk, mule deer, pronghorn) where shots can stretch and wind calls matter.

• Weight-conscious mountain hunts that demand a rifle you can carry all day without compromise.

• Suppressor users who want a threaded, balance-friendly platform with excellent ballistics.
