- Drilled and tapped receiver: Mount your own scope or red dot in minutes with standard bases — no machine work needed.
- Detachable 4-round magazine: Speeds up reloads and makes unloading safe and simple at the end of the day.

- Pro: Lightweight at 6.5 lbs — easy to carry all day in the field.
- Pro: OD Green stock blends into most hunting environments.
