Features

Barrel & Threading

• The 22″ fluted barrel strikes a balance between maneuverability and ballistic efficiency for 6.5 Creedmoor loads. Fluting reduces weight and can aid heat dissipation during sustained use.
• The threaded muzzle allows easy attachment of a brake or suppressor (thread pattern ~5/8″‑24).

Trigger & Controls

• Mossberg’s LBA® adjustable trigger lets the shooter tailor pull weight between light and heavier settings, aiding consistent shot placement.
• Oversized bolt handle and spiral‑fluted bolt provide a positive gripping surface for bolt manipulation.

Optics‑Ready

• A Picatinny rail is factory‑installed, making it straightforward to mount scopes and other optics without gunsmithing.

Magazine & Feeding

• A detachable box magazine simplifies loading/unloading and allows quick reloads in the field.

Ergonomics

• The synthetic stock with stippled grip areas and a raised cheekpiece promotes comfort and proper eye alignment for optics.
• The rifle’s overall design aims to balance weight and carry‑ability for hunting and general field utility.
