This manual operation, though slower than semi-automatic rifles, provides inherent advantages in accuracy, making it a preferred choice among precision shooters. At 24 inches in length, the heavy barrel enhances the rifle’s stability and reduces barrel whip during firing, factors crucial for achieving tight groupings at extended distances. Complementing its precision-oriented design, the rifle features an ergonomic hardwood stock, offering shooters a comfortable and steady platform for consistent aiming and control.
