Key Specifications

• The chambering is .17 WSM, a high-velocity rimfire magnum built for flat trajectories on varmints.

• The stock is a gray matte laminate sporter stock with a recoil pad, which affects handling, weight and how the rifle shoulders.
• The AccuTrigger carries a listed pull of 3 pounds, which gives a consistent, light break.
• Scope mounting is by a 2-piece Weaver-style scope base set, which makes fitting an optic simple.
• One detachable magazine is included with the rifle, so it is ready to load.
• Overall length is 41.5 inches and weight is 6.38 pounds, which is what you will carry afield.
