Key Features

- Swivel Studs — Already installed for a sling, so you can carry it hands-free on a walk through the woods or while setting up targets. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference.
- Walnut Furniture — The traditional walnut stock and forend provide a warm, classic look and a comfortable, non-slip grip. It’s the kind of finish that stands up to years of use and still looks good.
