This rifle features a straight grip stock and a steel forend cap, paired with a beautiful walnut stock that exudes classic elegance. The flip-up ladder rear sight and drift-adjustable front sight speak to its precision engineering, offering versatility and accuracy for the discerning marksman. With a length of pull of 13 inches, it provides a comfortable and secure hold, making it a joy to handle and shoot.
