Key Features
- MOA Trigger System — Why it matters: You get a crisp, adjustable trigger pull that helps you shoot tighter groups. No mush, no guesswork—just a clean break that lets you put rounds where you aim.
- Free-Floating, Threaded Sporter Barrel with Muzzle Brake — Why it matters: The barrel doesn’t touch the stock, so heat and pressure don’t shift your point of impact. The muzzle brake cuts felt recoil by about 30%, letting you spot your own hits through the scope.
- TrueTimber Midnight Stock — Why it matters: This camo pattern works in low-light conditions like early morning or late evening hunts. It’s durable, weather-resistant, and won’t shine or reflect like some synthetic stocks.
- One-Piece Trigger Guard and Magazine Frame — Why it matters: The design gives you a generous trigger guard opening, so you can wear gloves in cold weather and still operate the trigger and mag release without fumbling.
- Drilled & Tapped Chromoly Steel Receiver — Why it matters: Mounting a scope is straightforward with standard bases. The steel receiver adds strength and longevity, so you can count on this rifle for seasons to come.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants a flat-shooting magnum without the heavy recoil. It’s perfect for western big-game hunts—elk, mule deer, even black bear at longer ranges. First-time buyers will appreciate the MOA trigger’s adjustability, and experienced shooters will like the Cerakote finish that holds up in rain and snow. If you’re a right-handed shooter looking for a reliable 300 Win Mag under $800, this is your rig.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Accurate out of the box, effective muzzle brake, durable Cerakote finish, affordable price point, adjustable trigger.
- Cons: The factory stock is a bit stiff and doesn’t have an adjustable cheek riser—tall scopes might require a cheek pad for a perfect cheek weld.

FAQ
Does this rifle come with a scope or sights?
No. This model is sold without sights or a scope. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so you’ll need to mount your own optics. I’d recommend a 3-9×40 or 4-16×44 for 300 Win Mag hunting.
Is the muzzle brake removable?
Yes, the muzzle brake is threaded onto the barrel (5/8×24) and can be removed if you prefer to use a suppressor or a different brake. Just make sure to use a thread protector if you take it off.
What is the magazine capacity?
It comes with a 3+1 capacity—three rounds in the detachable box magazine plus one in the chamber. That’s plenty for most hunting scenarios.
Can left-handed shooters use this rifle?
This is a right-hand model only. The bolt handle and ejection port are on the right side. Lefties will need to look for a left-hand variant.
How does the MOA Trigger adjust?
The trigger is adjustable for pull weight using a small Allen wrench. You can dial it down to about 2.5 lbs or up to around 4 lbs. Per Winchester specs, the factory setting is around 3.5 lbs.
