The aluminum receiver integrates a one-piece 20 MOA rail, and the AccuFit system lets shooters adjust length of pull and comb height while AccuStock technology provides three-dimensional aluminum bedding. An ambidextrous, removable multi-position bolt handle and a 1.5-4 pound user-adjustable AccuTrigger round out the build, and a muzzle brake ships standard on the threaded 5/8-24 muzzle. Among straight-pull bolt action rifles, this Impulse Mountain Hunter configuration favors hunters who want faster cycling without sacrificing accuracy.
