Technical

The stock comes with a proprietary bedding called "Ever-Rest" which consists of a metal block around the front action screw. The rifle is available in many variants, such as:[6]

  • Atacama
  • Ceratech
  • Cherokee
  • Fieldshoot
  • Pantera

The action has a very similar outer profile to the Remington 700 enabling it to accept standard Remington 700 pattern scope mounts.[7] The trigger has one stage, with an adjustable weight between 1000 and 2000 grams (2.2 to 4.4 lbs).[8]

The bolt has 3 locking lugs and a 60 degree bolt throw.[8] The lugs neither locks into the action or the barrel, but instead locks into a breech ring mounted between the barrel and action.[9] The barrel is mounted to the receiver without action threads by a press fit and use of heat. The barrel can be delivered from factory with M15x1 muzzle threads, while M14x1 and 1/2"-28 threads are available by order[6]).
