Factory options include two barrel lengths and three contours chambered in .204 Ruger, .222 Rem., .223 Rem., 6.5 mm Grendel and 7.62x39 mm. The latter two chamberings utilize five-round magazines, whereas the former three are supplied with 10-rounders. Additional features include a three-position safety and a forged, one-piece, two-lug bolt—and all guns are backed by the company’s lifetime warranty and sub-m.o.a. guarantee. Synthetic stock options in five colors (Kryptek Highlander camouflage shown) are available, as are packages with Nikko Stirling optics. Price: $608 to $855.
