Pros & Cons
- Pros: True left-hand design, threaded barrel from factory, lightweight for carry, adjustable trigger, affordable price point for a lefty-specific rifle.
- Cons: The synthetic stock has a bit of flex under heavy bipod load (common at this price range), and aftermarket stock options are limited compared to Remington 700 patterns.

FAQ
