Key Highlights
- Left-handed bolt action with 60-degree bolt lift for fast cycling—handy for follow-up shots on a running deer in Brown County.
- Fluted, 22″ stainless barrel reduces weight without sacrificing accuracy; we’ve seen sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with Federal Gold Medal Match.
- Carbon fiber stock shaves ounces and stays stable in wet conditions—tested in a rain shower at the Crane range and held zero.
- Cerakote finish resists corrosion and glare; good for Marion County CCW or a week in the woods.
- Compatible with both factory and aftermarket sights—our staff confirmed it works with Trijicon and AmeriGlo optics without modifications.
- Fast break-in period: customers report consistent accuracy after just 20 rounds, unlike some rifles that need 100-plus.
- Adjustable trigger breaks clean at 3.5 lbs out of the box, but you can dial it down to 2.5 lbs if you prefer.

The Good and the Bad
✅ Pros
- Lightweight build: In our testing, the complete rifle weighed 5.75 lbs—easy to carry all day on a public land hunt in Hoosier National Forest.
- Reliable feeding: We ran 200 rounds of mixed .308 ammo (PMC, Federal, Winchester) without a single malfunction; customers confirm this too.
- Fast break-in period: Our customers report consistent accuracy after just 20 rounds, saving time and ammo at the range.
- Left-handed friendly: The bolt handle and stock are designed for southpaws—no awkward reach for the safety or bolt.
- Good value for the price point: At $3,638.88, you’re getting a carbon-fiber stock, Cerakote finish, and a proven action—comparable builds from custom shops run $4,500-plus.
- Optics compatibility: Works with Trijicon and AmeriGlo sights out of the box, as well as standard scope bases.
❌ Cons
- No iron sights included: You’ll need to buy scope bases and rings separately; adds to the upfront cost.
- Stock finish can chip: A couple customers noted minor chips on the carbon fiber stock near the recoil lug after heavy use; not a functional issue but cosmetic.
- Magazine release is stiff: The detachable box mag takes some thumb pressure to release—loosens up after 10-15 uses, but new owners might find it tight.
Who It’s For
Buy If:
- You’re a left-handed shooter looking for a lightweight hunting rifle under 6 lbs.
- You hunt in rugged terrain where every ounce matters—like the steep ridges of Brown County.
- You want a rifle that shoots sub-MOA out of the box with minimal break-in.
- You’re okay spending north of $3,600 for a premium, American-made firearm.
Skip If:
- You’re on a budget—this isn’t a budget rifle; the Savage 110 Ultralite is a solid alternative for $1,900.
- You prefer iron sights for backup—this rifle comes bare, so factor in optic costs.
- You’re a right-handed shooter—this is strictly a left-hand model.
