Key Features
- Stainless steel barrel and receiver — why it matters: resists rust and fouling in humid field conditions, maintaining accuracy round after round without constant oiling.
- Adjustable rear peep sight — why it matters: allows windage and elevation tweaks to match your holdover at common rimfire distances, eliminating guesswork for new shooters.
- Fixed front post sight — why it matters: provides a consistent reference point for cheek weld and sight alignment, reducing flinch and improving first-round hits on small targets.
- Single-shot bolt action — why it matters: forces deliberate loading and trigger discipline, building fundamentals for young shooters before transitioning to repeaters.
- Webbed synthetic stock with gold accents — why it matters: offers a non-slip grip in wet or gloved hands, with a distinctive look that stands out on the rack.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for youth shooters, small-stature adults, and anyone teaching the basics of bolt-action marksmanship. The 16.1-inch barrel keeps the balance forward for steady offhand shooting, while the 3.5-lb weight reduces fatigue during range sessions. It also suits plinkers who value simplicity over magazine capacity, or as a first centerfire trainer for kids ready to learn sight alignment and trigger control.
Pros/Cons
Pros: Lightweight (3.5 lbs) for easy handling; stainless barrel resists corrosion; adjustable rear sight for precise zero; single-shot action builds discipline; price point under $160.
Cons: Fixed front post limits sight radius compared to aperture setups; single-shot capacity means slower follow-ups if you miss; stock length may be short for taller shooters over 5’6″.

Per manufacturer specs, the overall length is approximately 30.5 inches. This compact profile makes it ideal for small-stature shooters and easy storage in a safe or range bag.
Does this rifle come with a scope or optics?
No, it ships with adjustable rear peep and fixed front post iron sights only. You can mount a scope using the integrated dovetail rail, but no glass is included.
Can an adult use this rifle comfortably?
Yes, but the stock length of pull is designed for youth shooters (approx. 12 inches). Adults over 5’6″ may find it cramped for extended sessions, though it works fine for occasional plinking or teaching.
What type of ammunition does it require?
