Key Features
- 416R Stainless Barrel with 3-Flute Spiral Fluting: The 22-inch barrel reduces weight while maintaining stiffness, improving heat dissipation for sustained strings without POI shift.
- Horizon Stiller Bolt Action: A controlled round feed action with a 60-degree bolt lift, ensuring fast cycling and reliable extraction under field conditions.
- TriggerTech Trigger: Factory-set at 2.5 lbs with zero creep, delivering a crisp break that eliminates shooter-induced error at distance.
- Iota EKO Carbon Fiber Stock: Textured grip and adjustable length of pull, reducing overall weight to 8.2 lbs for easier positional shooting.
- Iota Sim Brake: Threaded 5/8×24 muzzle brake cuts recoil by 40%, allowing faster follow-up shots on steel.
Who It’s For
This rifle targets competitive PRS shooters, long-range hunters chasing elk or mule deer, and benchrest enthusiasts who demand sub-MOA groups at 800+ yards. If you reload 6 Creedmoor and track DOPE in a ballistic app, this platform rewards that investment with consistent .5 MOA accuracy.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box, lightweight carbon fiber stock, TriggerTech trigger eliminates take-up, threaded muzzle for suppressor use.
- Cons: The 22-inch barrel limits velocity with heavy 147-grain ELD-M loads compared to a 26-inch tube; expect 100-150 fps less than a longer barrel.
