Key Features

MonoLock Hinge: Why it matters: This single-piece hinge system eliminates the traditional hinge pin, increasing strength and reducing wear over thousands of rounds, so the action stays tight season after season.
Reverse Striker Trigger: Why it matters: It provides a clean, crisp break with minimal overtravel, helping you make consistent shots on fast-flushing birds without flinching.
Adjustable Comb: Why it matters: You can dial in your cheek weld for a perfect sight picture with any load or weather gear, improving accuracy and comfort for shooters of all sizes.
Realtree Max-7 Camouflage Finish: Why it matters: This pattern blends into diverse waterfowl habitats, from flooded timber to open marsh, while the finish resists rust and corrosion from wet conditions.
Textured Gripping Surfaces: Why it matters: The stock and forend feature raised texturing so your hands stay secure even with wet gloves or in rain, giving you confidence in every swing.
